SNJ: Goat milk, sculpture and woodland play

The Stroud News and Journal had 3 local stories worth a mention here. First, 7 year old Eloise Nixon-Malaure from Whiteshill will feature in the 2007 national publicity drive, Thank Goodness For Goats. The article notes how her story maybe told on cartons and the internet - how switching to goats milk helped tackle her chronic eczema.

Second was the story of Simon Packard whose daughter goes to Randwick School - he's up as one of the finalists for Stroud District Council's 2006 Arts award for sculpture - the winner will have their piece grace the new Stroud College building - people can see the pieces and vote until Saturday 20th at the Musuem in The Park. My vote is for Simon's piece - not because I've met him but reckon it will look the best. He is in the photo on the left pushing the pram in last summers health cuts march.

Lastly good on Callowell Primary School for their new wild woodland area - a new 'outside classroom' - great stuff - children don't seem to spend anything like enough time outside thesePublish days.
