Editorial
What it is to be spoiled for choice! Our writers have been on overtime for this issue of The Wychwood. Now that schools are back in action and, temporarily at least, the library, articles have come in from there which have been absent during the pandemic restrictions.
As I have mentioned before, variety in The Wychwood really is the spice of life. With Christmas around the corner, I enjoyed receiving articles about favourite Christmas music, with thanks to Ascott’s Bob Chilcott and, as if that was not enough from Ascott, Fred Russell also writes warmly about his long Christmas memories. For something completely different, John Trevers looks at local maps which have, over the years, included our villages in their various guises. And there is our annual quiz for all regular readers of the magazine; your target is to get all twenty right, but I confess that I failed!
I hope you enjoy your seasonal reading.
