| − | 1989 was an unusual year for weather, prompting many questions about the '''"greenhouse effect"'''. Although most official comment is "not sure" or "not enough evidence yet" a trend towards more extreme weather seems to be setting in. To older residents ‘89 brought back memories of warm sunny days of childhood holidays. Harry Floyd and the late Tony Adams confirmed that 1921 and 1933 were much like some of our recent splendid summers, but with one major difference. In 1921 frequent journeys had to be made with horse and cart to the stream at Saunderton to fetch water for the cattle (a cow needs at least ten gallons every day) and villagers got their drinking water either from the Parish Well near Loosley Row forge or more likely from a Council water cart. 1933 was somewhat better in this respect as mains water had just been laid on. These old mains are the same ones which seem to have been springing so many leaks in the last few years.
