There’s a full moon tonight, visible from around 8.30 pm. While you are looking, take a peek at this stunning tour of the moon’s surface, in stunning high definition video. You will even see the moon landing site and the vehicle tracks. Enjoy!

Apparently it depends who you are, but sensible people will remain alert, avoid long journeys and mixing with others, with the expectation that the virus will eventually die out and allow us, once more, to socialise

Please Help Wayne and Emlyn Hodges, whose families have lived in Horsington for generations .On the 20th June Wayne and Emlyn will be cycling the Bristol Nightrider 100km Charity Ride.

They will be raising money for PKD (polycystic kidney disease) charity UK, which is a charity very close to their hearts. Four generations of the family have suffered from PKD. The brothers’ Grandmother, mother, uncle, cousin, Wayne himself, Emlyn and Emlyn’s daughter all suffer from the disease, which affects around 70,000 people in the UK.

The charity supports those who suffer from the disease, funds research and raises awareness of the disease and its effects. Good luck lads!

Sorry for the error folks.

This weekend would have seen the annual match between Horsington and the Tabard Pilgrims, sadly cancelled because of the Coronavirus lockdown. Always an enjoyable game to play and watch. Let’s try and make it happen next year.

33 quiz envelopes were collected from the half Moon, but only 2 scores have been submitted.. Get your scores in to philippa at philippa@ecco-gelato.co.uk as soon as possible.

There is a prize!.
