The visitor
We were very happy to have an impromptu visit by Christine Buckton (nee Baker) at the village hall this week. Christine used to live at Cliff House, and has been staying there on holidays.
Her father was W.P. Baker who wrote the book The English Village, in which there appears a lovely description of village life in Ebberston in the 1950s.
Christine and her family were shown around the village hall, which she remembered as the school, and she got re-acquainted with some of the objects we have in our “treasure” cabinet, much of which her father had collected and left to the village – some with his old hand-written labels still attached.
Village help during latest lockdown

A volunteer is already collecting prescriptions from the surgery later this week so please let us know if you need medication collecting.
Ebberston’s Christmas 2020
2020 might not be remembered for the best of reasons but Ebberston residents really pulled out the stops for Window Wonderland and our challenge to make the village look festive while there really wasn’t much else to do. It was thrilling to see so much creativity, fun and joy on display.
The only downside is that the benchmark has now been set for next year!
David and Val’s Christmas Quiz
David and Val Palfrey have hosted the Christmas quiz at the village hall for the last few years. Although things are a little different this year, they wanted to make sure you did not miss out so have kindly created a bumper 100 question quiz for you to do over the festive period. Just for fun. Some paper copies will also be placed on the Chapel Notice Board.
We wish you a Merry Christmas and hope that we will soon be back to using the Village Hall!
Answers will be posted here on 2nd January. Any quibbles, well, the quizmaster and quizmistress’s word is final of course!
Val and David say
“Hope you had time over Christmas and New Year to attempt the Ebberston Christmas Quiz (you could always have Googled the answers!). Wishing you a Happy and Healthy 2021 and hoping we can all Quiz together in the Village Hall next December.”
Ebberston’s Window Wonderland
Ebberston’s “Window Wonderland” starts on 1st December, and there will be at least one new festive display to see around the village every day all the way until Christmas Eve.
Although we are not yet able to organise any face to face events, Ebberston village hall committee was keen to arrange a Covid-safe alternative event. And over 40 households rallied to the call to join in and are making colourful festive, Christmas or Winter themed displays in their front windows (or doors, or garden), all visible as residents walk around the village .
The list of where and when displays can be seen is on the village hall noticeboard or you can download your own list to print out here.
We’re so excited and look forward to how creative and Christmassy Ebberston will look!
