The Horsington Blog has emerged from hibernation to serve the village during the Coronavirus crisis.
Or, more accurately, Vicky and Tom Todd, who live in the Manor, have kicked your editor into action with a generous offer which will be welcomed by many Homebound Horsington residents with families.
They have opened the gate to a large field down Batchpool Lane, below the manor, to provide a large open space for families to roam and play. The field is just past the Ottery, and opposite Home Farm.
All villagers are welcome to use it. Vicky Todd asks people not to go near the pond at the far side of the field, and to keep a carful eye on children who go in that direction.
The manor is criss-crossed with public footpaths which everyone is welcome to use. However, please keep to them.
And of course please observe the rules about keeping your distance from people not from your household.
Have fun getting some exercise and letting off steam in this lovely spring weather.
And a big thank-you to the Todds
