We\u2019re back after a long sleep. Your editor had a job, which has now ceased owing to the current crisis, and finds he has time on his hands. Maybe your old favorites Silas Silage and Mrs Badger can also be persuaded back from retirement. Sadly, our racing correspondent, the redoubtable Winterborne Longjohns is laid off, as racing is cancelled for the foreseeable future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Blog also went into hibernation because of the excellent job being done by the team on the Villager Magazine. Not many of you will know that the Blog came into existence \u00a0in 2010 because of the inordinate length of time between a Magazine\u00a0 Committee being formed and a magazine actually appearing. We felt there was a need for more immediate communication. Now we are very happy to work alongside them to strengthen village communications during the coronavirus crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However the technology to produce the blog is a little\ncumbersome, and we find social media such as Facebook does a much better job.\nIf you haven\u2019t seen it, the Blog\u2019s Facebook page is at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/horsingtonblog\/\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/horsingtonblog\/<\/a>\nand from now on we shall concentrate on that to disseminate news and views. &nbsp;If you haven\u2019t joined, get an account.
