WELCOME...<br />
...to the <strong>Oct</strong>ober / <strong>Nov</strong>ember edition of VV...<br />
Welcome to our autumn edition - the season of<br />
mists and mellow fruitfulness! (Keats)<br />
Summer seemed to end abruptly with an early<br />
and rapid drop in temperature and what seemed<br />
like non stop rain. The more recognisable<br />
autumn of 'mellow fruitfulness' only now seems<br />
to have arrived. Being surrounded by woods<br />
and green areas in Penn & Tylers Green, we<br />
really notice the seasonable changes, as the<br />
leaves on the trees move through the colour<br />
palette from pale, acid green in spring, to bright<br />
green, then the autumn golds and brown, before<br />
finally the trees shed their leaves, and eventually<br />
fall. We are familiar with the changes, and find<br />
beauty in the transformed seasonal vistas. Sadly,<br />
the changes in landscape we have in prospect as<br />
a result of the local area development plans will<br />
significantly erode the semi-rural landscape that<br />
we currently enjoy, to one which seems set to<br />
move to being increasingly urbanised.<br />
In this VV, we have extensive reporting of<br />
planning issues, from different viewpoints.<br />
Clearly the large scale changes proposed as a<br />
result of the Local area plans have caused major<br />
concerns, especially relating to the pressure on<br />
our roads, the prospect of significantly increased<br />
traffic through the villages. Lets enjoy village<br />

life and the semi-rural landscape while we can.<br />
To happier matters. Whilst summer in P&TG<br />
is always jam packed with events and activities,<br />
autumn events are more modest <strong>Village</strong> clubs<br />
and societies are active throughout the year,<br />
with many activities taking place at the <strong>Village</strong><br />
Hall. Don't forget the Sports & Social Club will<br />
be hosting its 3rd fabulous Firework Display on<br />
Saturday 11th <strong>Nov</strong>ember.<br />
Whisper it very quietly, but after Fireworks,<br />
the pressure will be on for us all to start our<br />
Christmas planning and preparation. The VV<br />
team will start planning and preparing for our<br />
Christmas (December /January 2018) edition of<br />
VV! We are always pleased to receive<br />
contributions from our regular contributors, and<br />
our readers, if you would like to share your<br />
news and views, we would love to hear from<br />
you. Cathy O'Leary, VV Editor<br />
