COTSWOLD TIMES<br />
BOURTON TIMES<br />
FROM THE EDITOR<br />
The sky was blue from very first thing today – and the early<br />
chorus of birdsong was bursting with energy. It’s impossible to<br />
be dreary when nature turns on the sunshine. Even a day in<br />
the office is cheerier when I can slide outside for coffee without<br />
having to put on extra layers.<br />
Each month as the news and articles arrive for the next edition<br />
it is easy to see the ‘big issues’ that are being talked about in<br />
the community. Our community is . . . concerned about families<br />
in Nepal (Alain Rouveure at the Rouveure Galleries – you have<br />
possibly met some of his Nepalese craftsmen when they are<br />
here in the summer months); interested in the Magna Carta (the<br />
book Magna Carta in 20 Places by Derek Taylor who lives in<br />
Stow, has a public ‘signing’ here in June – our reviewer found<br />
it ‘witty and enchanting and impossible to put down’!); enjoys<br />
its local beers and breweries; admires and ‘relishes’ bespoke<br />
furniture and is always interested in our local history; and loves<br />
having the Lido open again! The police appeared on the radar<br />
twice and we have an article on the national policing survey<br />
which is running all month. Notable by its absence was local<br />
politics – but maybe that is understandable after all that hype<br />
and rushing about.<br />
Essentially though, June brings lots of good things and this<br />
edition is packed with an amazing choice of events and places<br />
to visit, mostly on our doorsteps or within a short journey. With<br />
family and friends or footloose and fancy free, I hope you will<br />
enjoy the best that June can bring – summer!<br />
Best wishes,<br />

– did you know they had orange legs?<br />
