I love the cover for this edition – so much happy news! 🙂 There was a delay at the print shop though and so they aren’t going to be able to print the paper Bugles until Tuesday. So I came back with just the proof copies today but at least the Virtual Buglers have theirs for the weekend.

My huge apologies to Steph and Hannah (and Auntie Chrissie) as they sent me this beautiful photo of Auntie Chrissie with Joni on a recent visit, and I totally omitted to slot it in to the last Bugle. What a shame as it’s such a beaut of a picture of our oldest and youngest family members. I will add it to the next Bugle but thought you Virtual Angels would like a sneak preview to Read more…

Very pleased to announce that the 44th Poole Games will be held at Hooke Court in Dorset again on 24th to 27th May 2019.

Yay! 🙂

My able assistant – Barney – and I walking home from the printers with our bundle of still-warm Bugles. The pile is definitely getting smaller each month – thank you to all of you who read on-line and are helping to reduce our environmental footprint (and my arms from carrying them home to package up!). In keeping with the fact that you have Virtual Bugles, henceforth you will be known as the Virtual Angels. 🙂 Read more…
