What Do You Love Most About Living In Bismarck?
I have been here almost a year, I arrived last year shortly before COVID-19 started its path of destruction. I am from San Diego, California, lived there most of my life until I ventured out to Fargo, North Dakota almost seven years ago. Quite a change in weather obviously and adapting to things that never occurred to me - for instance, when I first started driving through the streets of West Fargo, all I heard was Do you have a survival kit in your car?
A what? You know, blankets, water, ladder, blowtorch, cat litter, extra clothes, etc I soon found out that you get stranded in some ditch during whiteout conditions, no joke, you can die.

Here is the second part of our Review of the Year:
JULY A WINCHESTER woman has been crowned the winner of this year’s Great British Sewing Bee. Clare Bradley beat stiff competition and impressed judges Esme Young and Patrick Grant to be awarded the title in the BBC One show. Upon being announced as the winner, she said: “I feel really surprised. Crikey. I do hold myself to high standards and because other things I have gone in for are things I have trained for like exams and more exams - this was something I did for fun.” The streets are bustling, the shops are filled – and for the first time in 13 weeks, Winchester’s pubs, cafes and restaurants are open, but not as we have known it.

The popular Santa Run held in Lincoln couldn’t go ahead this year, but the organisers, Lincoln Colonia Rotary Club, turned the event ‘virtual’ allowing people to run or walk a 5k walk or run on any day in December.
Three North Willingham runners - Claire Semple, Sharon Bothamley and Amanda Curtis - took up the challenge and even went that bit further by running 7k circuit.
