The Three Villages Magazine: June Cover Revealed!

Posted on May 13, 2024 by Anna Bond Leave a comment

We have a winning cover image for the June issue of The Three Villages Magazine!

This striking photograph was taken by Alison Cox and shows the fields on Rye Common behind the Pumping Station.

Alison moved from Ware to St Margarets in 1990, originally in Cresset Close and The Granary since 1999. She is a keen gardener and dog walker and loves the paths along the New River and River Lea. Her blue roan cocker spaniel, Alfie, loves the fields on Rye Common behind the pumping station, where the photo was taken. She encourages wildlife into her garden and currently feeds at least two hedgehogs a small flock of goldfinches and some resident pigeons.

Since the last issue, we have been working hard to expand our reach and find new ways to support local business. We have teamed up with Paul King, Managing Director of French & Jupps, who has kindly agreed to write a regular feature exploring the amazing businesses that call The Maltings home. We are also pleased to welcome a new Quizmaster: Terry Collins! Of course, we have our popular Business Spotlight, Charity Focus, Meet a Local and Sports features.

The June Issue of The Three Villages Magazine is very soon off to the printer, so we are on schedule for 1^st June publication. If you haven’t picked up a copy of the March issue, make sure you do before they disappear!

She regularly walks down the rivers with her dog, and around the Herts and Middlesex Wildlife Trust reserve. Jenny’s favourite photography genre is wildlife and she is also a Karate instructor at Wodson Park, Ware.
