This month’s post is one asking you if you have any childhood or adult memories of Haslingfield in the past. Perhaps you can remember a traumatic incident at school or, if you’re of an age, about wartime in Haslingfield. Do you remember any amazing local sporting feats? Are there any ‘characters’ who used to live in the village? What were the old pubs like that are no longer with us?
If you have any memories you’d like to share, drop me an e-mail at

I’m happy to guarantee your anonymity if the stories are not too scurrilous!
In the meantime, seasonal wishes to you all!
