Jasper the Dog Gets a Home

Jasper the Dog Gets a Home

The phone rang. “I’m bringing home a puppy, we don’t have to keep him but he needs to go to the vet” Clive said. Oh dear, I thought, Oscar (our beloved cat) hates dogs, we won’t be able to keep him. I organised puppy milk, and the loan of a puppy cage and rang the vet to ask if we could take him straight through and then waited for Clive’s arrival. As soon as I…

Greater Littleport & District NSS

Rev’d Nick Brown Senior Minister at Greater Littleport and District NSS presents a look at our Christian Spiritualism by the NSS Principle Minister.

Enjoying Autumn

Enjoying Autumn

Autumn is here, and although the days shorten, the changing colours of the countryside are very enjoyable. One of the nicest walks in this area is Chettisham meadows and is best accessed from Little Downham rather than the A10 entrance. This is the time when we should start to leave food out for the birds. Although Autumn is a good time for natural food, they need to know where food can be found in the…
