MOVING to the other side of the world is no excuse to miss out on all the goings-on here in Melksham!
Karla Baker and Will Richards moved to Australia in 2016 – but thanks to Karla’s parents, the pair (and the native wildlife) are still avid readers of the local paper.
Karla said, “After having moved to Australia, my parents, Lynn and Robert Baker of Beanacre, continue to send us copies of the Melksham Independent News so that we can keep-up with events from back home. Here is my husband Will enjoying a read of a recent edition and, so it would appear, was some of the local wildlife – a swamp wallaby!”
