Through the Packet I would like to say thank you to all the Flushing people who, once again, made our Christmas and New Year so cheerful despite all the rain we had.

It was great to see the windows all aglow, red and gold and the two crosses and the big stars, also the other lights going on and off. All the houses along Orchard Vale, down to the pub and pier, and the new trailer on the quay, looked smashing.
