DEAR READERS AND ADVERTISERS
Welcome to the award winning The Village Advertiser!
‘Remember, remember the fifth of November, gunpowder, treason and plot’ so the old rhyme goes. Do children get taught these old sayings these days? The lure of a foggy bonfire night with wonderful fireworks is irresistible. Childhood memories are filled with the joy of holding a sparkler, or watching a rocket soar into the night sky and holding your breath until the explosion and cascade of stars with elicit oohs and aahs from everyone, or of the rocket that misfires and ends up in the greenhouse.
