Woolaston News summer 2022 print

home for organisations and companies
based all over the world. Many of us
in Woolaston keep in contact with
our families and children who live is
different parts of the world thanks to
the growing accessibility of air travel
and easy seamless video calls.
So, this Jubilee, it is worth us all
thinking how our village will be
different in another 70 years. What
new miracles of technology will
come? Whether those changes will
bring a benefit, or a threat is a matter
of opinion. So, what do we want to
preserve and what would we like to
see changed for the better? Our climate
and perhaps our landscape will change.
Batteries or will replace engines, we
will need to find a better way to heat
our houses in the chill of Winter,
hydrogen perhaps or more efficient
heat exchangers? New medicines will
come to keep us healthy and protect us
from new pandemics. New houses will
be built new people will be born and
Woolaston will prevail.

This Jubilee is a time to raise a glass
to Her Majesty and to ourselves and
to our village to its long history and
to its future; to its school, and its
shop and its residents, its pubs and
its community hall, to the old and the
young, to the footballers, the gardeners,
the Zumbas, to the skateboarders to
everyone – to us!
