THE year 1999 was another during which the Ribble Valley, qui etly and modestly as is its way, basked in a variety of enjoyable glories. Some -■ the mag nificent countryside, historic buildings and healthy environment - have been bestowed upon it, many others have been earned by hard work and the enlightened harnessing
of talent. More and more praise
