It’s that time of year again. Get out the picnic baskets, find the tupperware, round up friends and family. Here at the Community Centre, we’ve spruced up the hall and REALLY gone to town on the kitchen, and we still had enough left in the kitty for some new crockery and cutlery. It all kicks …

What it says in the title. We’ve been out collecting donations and lots for the auctions today, the teams have been getting the rooms ready, hunting out the decorations and wishing there were slightly more hours available between now and Sunday.

Hard frosts, mists and the occasional burst of sunshine and blue skies are giving our photographers lots of inspiration, even if the weather is not great for drying. We’ve had visitors to the parish too, and a new calf. And the whooper swans have come back.
