High Petergate, York

Again it’s time for an update from the centre of York. We’ve been busy this year but it’s all good. Getting older should mean slowing down. For us it’s doing things more slowly but important things are still being done.

Joan has continued to volunteer at the hospital two mornings a week as well as being part of the church visiting team. She also met up with school friends for a 60th anniversary reunion. Barrie has again become chair of the successful housing charity Restore (York). We have also made many visits down the A1 to visit family in Cambridge and Chelmsford.

There was a general election with a good outcome. Barrie helped (a little) with campaigning for the Labour Party. We had two street parties and helped mount an air quality action group in the main street at the end of ours.

So as we look forward to the next year we trust you all will enjoy a Happy Christmas and a healthy New Year.
