Visitors

This visitor's page is here to allow you to make comments which can be contentious or complimentary; can be about the village, the parish council, the web-site or indeed any other matter of concern or interest to the village and villagers of Caston. How wonderful it is to see people from as far away as Australia and America write in but it's equally fantastic to hear from those still local to Caston and elsewhere in the UK.

Your comments will be very welcome.

Please don't leave without letting us know you were here and, particularly if you are outside of Caston, then the area you come from.  (The last five comments are shown in full but click on the headlines of the others in order to reveal them.)

Diamond Jubilee Update
REMINDER/UPDATE
Anyone who wishes to enter the scarecrow competition, could all entries please go to Rob Summers at 2 Coronation Terrace. Originally we asked for scarecrows to be brought to the village green but this has been changed to setting them up in the entrants front garden. A judge will go round to see all entries. Good luck!

Also, I'd like to remind all the parents of children at Caston Primary, if you have or are going to purchase a balloon for the balloon race you are more than welcome to come down to the village green on Monday 4th June from midday onwards to release it. If so could you let Tony Ash know in advance on 01953 488902 or myself on 01953 483107. Balloons are still available to purchase but must be done by no later than Thursday 31st May. Once again Good Luck!

Thanks for the Welcome
I just want to let everyone know how much Richard and I appreciate the welcome we have had since moving to Hall Farm Cottage. The Friday morning coffee gatherings have been wonderful and we are amazed at just how many truly nice folks there are here! I had been warned by a couple of my English friends that moving to a small village could be difficult but I have been very happy to tell them how wrong they are -- the residents of Caston that we've met thus far (and ones from Stow Bedon) have been warm, friendly and helpful and we are starting to feel right at home. Thank you!

Memories of WW II
I am writing you because I noticed the subject online article, originally written by John Barnes and reprinted from the Waylander from 2009. My father-in-law, Norman Hartle of Sayreville, New Jersey, is mentioned in the article (the paragraph starting with "Norfolk is one of the closest counties to Germany....") about servicemen visiting Caston during the War and who stayed with Mr. Barnes at Ivan House. He was in the US Army-Air Forces as an instrumentation technician for the aircraft used in the battles. My mother-in-law, who is now 94 years old still remembers the time he was there and the nice comments he had about the people. She said they had sent some gifts to the families there. Since my father-in-law died some years ago, I wonder if you would be kind enough to send me a copy of this article (via e-mail would be fine if possible), since I can't print it due to the restriction. Thank you.

Gerald and I are delighted to have re-established contact with Mike and his wife Pat.In our Mothers Birthday Book there is an entry for Patricia Ann Hartle in 1947 and Mike is her husband. We have exchanged family photos and I have e-mailed lots of photos of Caston. I have sent a short article to "The Waylander".
