Hello! And a very big welcome to the October edition.

I’m sure that many of you will have noticed the new Estate Agency boards that popped up everywhere at the end of August, replacing the Your Move Andrew Hayes boards. You can read about Gascoigne Halman forming a new alliance with Andrew Hayes in Frodsham on page 7.

The Scarecrows are coming back to Helsby for the annual Helsby Scarecrow Trail. The theme for this year is ‘Children’s Books’, with a new Covid-safe trail that will delight children and bring back fond memories for the rest of us. The Scarecrows will be on display around the village from Saturday 24th October through to Saturday 31st October, page 79 has all the information. Hopefully as many of you as possible will get creative and make a Scarecrow or enjoy following the trail.

31st October is of course Halloween, a time when many of us in our youth enjoyed getting dressed up to visit neighbours to play ‘Trick Or Treat’. This year the old custom will have to change of course but it would be lovely if people could display a pumpkin (real, ornament or a picture) in your window so that children can still dress up and go out looking for them (without knocking on doors), as well as the scarecrows!

Gifts ‘n’ Party in Hartford (p5) have a great selection of fancy dress costumes, masks, makeup, accessories and decorations available in store or to order from their website. Have fun!

Until next month,
Take Care & Best Wishes,
Sarah x
