EDITORIAL
I am sorry to report the death of Mike Kirkham on Friday 1st March. I hope to have an obituary in the May edition of the magazine. I am sure you will join with me in sending our condolences to Helen and family.
Farming is an essential part of Eardisland’s rural life, as it is in all such areas, but farmers do not have an easy life. The level of mental illness, largely hidden, leads to all sorts of problems, sometimes ending with suicide. I have been asked to make farmers aware of help, and, of course, I am happy to do so. The information is on page 24. There is no loss of face in seeking help.
With this magazine you will find a questionnaire about the Eardisland Community Shop. This has now been running, successfully, for well over a decade, providing a vital service. It is facing a crisis. Unless more people help, it won’t keep going. It’s as simple as that. Your contribution, no matter how small, will help to keep this asset going. Please look at the questionnaire carefully, take a few minutes to complete and return it, and reflect on how you can help. It would be an enormous loss if it were to go.
