Dear Editor,
I refer to the letter published in Issue 516 of The Blissford Voice  from your correspondent (name withheld), in which they were complaining about a lack of reality in the publication and that there  might be a certain amount fake names (and dare I say it fictitious  articles). I note that they were also [...]

Little did we know from last week’s BV that the men’s uphill wheelbarrow race was won  ( in 32.9 secs) by Matthew, visiting Lightlands with Caroline and Jack for the weekend. Both champs agreed it is easier to get up the hill pushing a barrow so
maybe we should all give it a try … Grandson Jack [...]

It was the perfect afternoon for a garden fete and tea that is just what Alison & Peter organised. From the smiling waitresses, Katrina and Hannah proffering the Pimms to the groaning sideboard of delights (scones with classic cream and jam, saanies with the crusts removed, faery cakes the lot). The garden gazebo was very [...]

Reports of bizarre exploits amongst the terrier racing cognoscenti at the Froghman Fayre have reached this desk. Dramas to equal the summer when the bicycle propelled bunny broke down and the dogs seized the furry lure and then fought to the death; have been hinted at. Traps not opening, faulty judgements and the like. What [...]

With the continuing spread of the Blissford Community (now world-wide), it is no longer practical – nor advisable – to rely on the age old practice of smoke signals from the top of Chilly Hill to communicate with fellow Blissfordians. With this in mind a (newly appointed) Foreign Affairs [...]

There was jubilation at Blissford Cross (and especially at PBC) on Saturday when a man with a van arrived to replace Blissford’s missing postbox. The campaign by residents, led by the High Sheriff and aided and abetted by the BV, had been successful at last. The ESW, stung by media criticism that he had failed [...]

The High Sheriff was reported as saying on the reinstallation of the postbox, “The Ponies will love that – they will rub up against it. Before long it will be bent like a banana.”
Squire ‘Enery meanwhile was taking a more cynical approach to the news (allegedly – Ed.), “It’s a NEW postbox! The old one [...]

Blissfords most eligible single has been seen with Clive, fingers interlocked, moony-eyed and giggly. He denied being a state registered chiropodist from New Zealand and revealed that he was in fact from North Hampshire and involved in oil. He did not appear to be Scottish (or Texan). It must be serious as they had been [...]

Ever eager to support the community that have made them so welcome since they arrived in Blissford the Hillsiders launched their illuminations on Wednesday. Unfortunately Claire Goose (Tina from BBC’s “Casualty” and John’s favourite pin-up ) was unexpectedly unavailable to perform the switching on ceremony so John had to do it himself! While admitting that [...]

Whilst walking the dogs on Wednesday I discovered Anne enthusiastically moving hardcore for her latest project. A huge ditch has been re-dug and drainage pipes laid. She tells me that this will be followed by the construction of a pound, which may mean we shall no longer see the sight of Anne chasing her errant [...]
