Latest Issue - May 2025
EDITORIAL
As promised in the March edition, I publish Graham Simpson’s obituary. Sadly, I have to report a further death, that of Tony Tindale. I will endeavour to publish more information in the next edition. Our condolences go to family and friends. In addition, there will be a memorial service for the late Brian Pollard at St Mary's church on Saturday 7th June at 11am. All are welcome.
On a brighter note, the weather has been warm and sunny, unfortunately with some frosty nights. It’s rather bizarre for Ruth and me, given that we have been in Tenerife for a month, where the weather has been wetter than normal, and generally very windy. The swallows have returned to the river, and I have noted a couple of egrets enjoying the riverbank. Small egrets are not rare these days but are not often seen in Eardisland.
If you have a home computer which you use for any personal information, banking, online purchases, etc., please note that Windows 10 will no longer be supported after October of this year. If your computer can be updated to Windows 11, then do so. If it can’t, then there are two options. One is to stop using it for personal information and delete all that’s on it, or buy another computer. My faithful computer which I have used for the magazine since 2012 can’t be updated, so I have had to buy another, a Dell. Computer prices have come down a lot over the years, but it’s still a pain to replace an old machine. It is important, though, because security is constantly under threat. This does not apply to Apple products, just Microsoft.
Enjoy the summer!
