The Wychwoods in the Cotswolds since 1980!

about life in the Wychwoods.
Latest issue: April – May 2019
Editorial
‘Spring has sprung, the grass is riss, I wonder where the birdies is?’ – so goes the ancient piece of doggerel. And living in such a beautiful part of the country, it is only right that this issue of the Wychwood Magazine should reflect the great outdoors at this time of year. It is simply waiting to be explored and the exploration begins on the pages of this issue.
Shipton’s footpaths are introduced by Rosemary Wilson, with so many clear, well-marked and interesting paths on our doorstep; David Astor helps us to understand the difficulties of tree planting that result from last summer’s heatwave; Jill Mavin explains the joys of owning an allotment, and Liz Scrivener outlines the healthier option!
But if you are interested in other things, John Trevers tells of the joys and travails of amateur sheep rearing while, if you want something completely different, Alan Vickers uncovers the history of baseball in the Cotswolds.
And there’s plenty of space to consider children and young people; John Witts tells readers of the youth club at Wychwood Baptist church while four children at the primary school outline their hobbies, proving that not all children are glued to their screens.
As usual, there really is something for everyone, not forgetting a recipe for leek and walnut quiche which, despite my non-existent cookery skills, I can personally recommend.
