Breamish Valley Remembrance 2021
On Sunday 14 November 2021 residents of Breamish Valley, and visitors from further afield, came to remember service personnel who died protecting our freedoms.
In a well-attended service led by Revd. Velda Nicholson people, old and young, gathered to remember the sacrifice of those who lost their lives in conflicts.
Poppy Display 2021
Knitted and crocheted poppy display 2021
Thanks to the hard work of several volunteers who took up the challenge of knitting or crocheting poppies for a Remembrance Day Poppy Display, the poppies are now adorning the Powburn Community Garden. May Wilson and Noreen Birnie have made a wonderful vista of the colourful poppies and put it on show today. And it looks marvellous!

Happy New Year 2021!
Happy New Year!
Not a lot to be said, really…2020 has been unprecedented.
But now with the positive news of vaccines against coronavirus starting to be rolled out, there’s good reason to hope for a happier 2021.
A Merry Little Christmas
Have yourself a merry little Christmas
However you celebrate the Christmas season, songs and carols are such a staple. We hear them on the radio, as background music in shops, rousingly played by brass bands in our streets, and on the tinkling pianos and other instruments that our children and grandchildren are learning to play. And we would have enjoyed singing them as a local community around the Christmas tree such as Powburn’s Community Garden.
Merry Christmas 2020
Merry Christmas!
Well…it’s been quite a year, hasn’t it? It’s been kind of:
- unusual
- extraordinary
- uncommon
- remarkable
- unparalleled
- aberrant
Mmm…the list goes on.
Advent 1
Advent: the four weeks before Christmas
Whether or not you count yourself as religious, spiritual, agnostic or whatever, the anticipation of Christmas each year seems to me to be a wonderful thing. Today is the first day of Advent 2020 – advent being the time in the liturgical year encompassing the four weeks before Christmas.
Lest We Forget 2020
As mentioned in the post entitled Remembrance Sunday 2020, May Wilson BEM has today laid a commemorative poppy wreath in remembrance of the fallen from the Breamish Valley at the Breamish Valley War Memorial in the Powburn Community Garden.
