The Disseminator will be moved to Post Box Cottage for the festive season, so those seeking their news or wishing to leave copy should take note. Caution should attend anyone tarrying at the Post Box corner as the High Sheriffs eccentric herding techniques sometimes leave bystanders either at risk or exhausted. Favourite cousin Emilyn Claide will be dog walking at Brook Farm and accepting invites on behalf of Jude and the Editor while they repair to their Canadian seat with the Boys.

Its been a long week in the New Forest where ³Unringed pigs are ruining the Forest² according to The Forest Journal. Ray Bennett, who used to be our local Agister or Royal Cowboy; says that near him some three miles of road side have been damaged. The pigs are put out for pannage. Putting rings through their noses stops them rooting for earthworms and destroying the grassy verge that ponies rely on for grazing. These matters will be discussed at the next Verderers Court! it ends rather importantly.
