Earls Colne Primary School
Have launched their own website
Colnevalley.com is Ten!
Believe it or not this website is right old age of ten!
In the early days this site was just something I did, a project to fiddle with in a bid to make it work. But now after 10 years this site has become really meaningful and special to me.
Through this site I have met lots of local people and it has introduced me to the many delights this area has to offer.
Colnevalley.com will continue to evolve and grow and you can add to this site yourself by sending your photographs, recommending a walk or posting your questions, thoughts and comments on the forum.
Here's to another 10 years. Happy Birthday colnevalley.com!
