Angling is perennially popular and this person was nicely settled for a pleasant afternoon by the river walk. Scenes like this can be found just a hundred yards or so from town and enable much-appreciated relief from otherwise stressed times.
Shefford has some lovely river walks – one of them takes you to The Beach – a popular venue for family picnics and teenage gatherings. There are booklets showing walks around Shefford which I believe are available from the library and the council offices.
Shepherds Place offers a cool walk near the river and only a short step from the busy supermarket.
It is great to see activity in Pamoli Square – this is such a popular thoroughfare and is becoming a pleasant place for social activities – full marks to our local team for helping to make it more decorative.
Shefford has its share of history and charm – often up close and easy to pass by without a second look.
In our run up to the Community Festival we are celebrating the landmarks and byways of Shefford – here’s one for the professionals and the DIYers.
On my stroll the other day it occurred to me that there are some interesting, attractive views of the town from the houses and high street to the river walks – maybe you also walk past some of these views?
I am delighted that we now have 50 plus events listed under the Shefford Community Festival umbrella – that is nearly 6 per day in the whole of Shefford and we still have ten weeks to go, giving people plenty of time to organise something new!
For example in the last few days we have included a new Craft Fair at the STMA – organised by Lesley Whiteman – who is also behind the Garage Sale Trail and the Shefford Local website. 
Following support from our sponsors this year we have been able to print a program preview which will be going out to every household in Shefford in the next few weeks so people can put a copy on their fridge and update it from a printable PDF on our website.
From our inception, Shefford Newsline has supported the Festival with articles and more, so we would like to thank the council and team on Newsline for their support over the years and into the future.
We are all working for a better Shefford.
