MEET Norris... Many people in the village already know Molly, the Shetland pony at Rooks Farm, and have heard a new plaintive bleating in conversation with Molly's whinnies.

Norris is a very friendly sheep, kindly donated by Helen and James Hague, of Lyde Green Farm, to keep Molly company.

She suffers from a condition that doesn't allow her to eat fresh grass, so she lives in the barn and yard area, which can get a bit lonely.

She enjoys visitors, particularly those armed with carrots, so do feel free to drop by to say hello to Molly and welcome to Norris!

WHERE next? Are you in a rut?

A new lifestyle planning course is being offered at the Hart Neighbourhood Centre over three consecutive months and started last week.

The full three-session programme was initiated on Tuesday night with a free workshop, but, if you would like to find out more, call 760800.
