DEAR Mike, We read your article about community in Andover.

When we were there in July we really enjoyed it.

We stayed at The Star and Garter where the staff were friendly and helpful.

Decent and kind comments make all the difference and do not cost much effort.

Special mention to the Copper Kettle, Lucy’s Kitchen, Millets, the framing shop and the staff in WH Smith’s.

We look forward to visiting again.

Mr and Mrs Okines, Oswestry, Shropshire
