Heat your oil in a large frying pan or saucepan and add the chicken and bacon. Cook for about 5-10 minutes until just starting to turn brown.
Add in the vegetables and cook for a further 5 minutes until they start to soften.
Add the flour and thyme and stir through everything, cook for 5 minutes.
Gradually add the stock and milk to the vegetable and flour mix, stirring until the sauce is smooth. Leave to bubble away and thicken for about 10 minutes.
Spoon into a pie dish and leave to cool for at least 30 minutes if you have time.
Smooth the pastry over the top of the filling.
Decorate the pie with cut out shapes if you feel that way inclined and brush with the beaten egg.
When you are ready to bake the pie, preheat the oven to 220℃ fan/425F, 240℃/475F or Gas Mark 9 and bake for about 30 minutes until the filling is hot throughout and the pastry is crisp and golden.

The Hardest Working Building in White Rock
In 1922 the Surrey Police department petitioned Surrey Council to build a holding cell and Police substation in White Rock. The result was a building at the foot of the pier that would end up being one of the most diversely used buildings in White Rock.
In the early 1930s the White Rock Library moved into the building and shared it with the police department until 1951. In the early 1960s the Chamber of Commerce took over the building and it became a tourist information centre as well as a gallery used by the local Council of Women and the White Rock Painting and Sketch Club. In 1980 a new public washroom was built on the site.
In its 55 years it had been a jail, morgue, library, bathroom, meeting hall, tourist centre, and art gallery.
Quite a career for such a humble little building!

In its final version as the Chamber of Commerce Tourist Information centre the local Council of Women, and the White Rock Painting and Sketch Club used the building extensively.

Special Council Meeting And Public Hearing For Official Community Plan Bylaw
A Special Council meeting and Public Hearing was held last afternoon at our community centre/council chambers for Official Community Plan Amendment Bylaw No. 2511.
A number of members of the public took the time to appear in person or to submit letters to the city reflecting their visions for the future development of White Rock.
Following the PUBLIC HEARING White Rock council reconvened the meeting of council to either adopt the presented Official Community Plan, or to defer a decision.
Councillor TREVEYLAN put forward a motion to defer the decision until the next regular council meeting which will be on Monday March 8.
The vote was supported unanimously.
The meeting ended with staff reminding council they could not receive any new information now that the decision had been deferred.

Thought For The Day
Sunday’s SoulFull Session LIVE / Live From South Surrey
Today we will be opening the month with a live conversation called:
kindness in a fractured world
We’ll explore questions like:
Where is kindness still alive in the world?
What weakens it?
What supports it?
And what might it look like to practice a form of kindness that is thoughtful, courageous, and awake?
If this month’s theme is stirring something in you, I’d love to have you there.
