Scribblers in Doveridge

The Doveridge poets are still sending me stuff. Here's one from Audrey of the Senior Citizens Group:

Our village is so beautiful,
It overlooks the River Dove
With St Cuthbert's Church
On the ridge above.

The village well is kept neat and spry
By the good ladies of our WI.
At the other endof the village is Chapel Green
Where the old chapel and the new school can be seen.

And if you're of the sporting kind
There's a playing field with you in mind
We have a post office and a couple of shops
Where you can buy groceries or lolly pops

When you're feeling depressed and sad,
Take a walk round the village and you'll be glad,
You're sure to meet someone along the way
Who will stop and pass the time of day.

There's so much to do, so much to see
There's no place I'd rather be
Than Doveridge.

Thanks Audrey - it's certainly true it is a beautiful place. And I can testify myself that people have always said hello as I've been walking round.
