The year to date
It was our local fete on Saturday - a wondeful slice of Village life that echos back to the 50's - warm beer, tombolas, throwing wellies, all quite charming.
In a way it was quite refreshing to see home made stalls doing nothing much except encouraging people to part with money for a good cause (our village hall fund ). Much fun was had by all and a couple of grand was raised for the fund. All hail to the hard workers, as distinct from the many 'directors'.
Of more importance is our forthcoming Fun Croquet day, all in aid of the local hospice. We have been advised by the Croquet Association who have been wonderful - its hardly Hurlingham but the concept is to have fun and raise much needed funds - so Sunday 12th July is the day, enter in pairs, just £10.00 for a chance to win prizes and help a good cause. Steve will be cooking up some barby grub and the Pimms will be flowing.
