Congratulations, and best wishes from us all to Noel and Adrienne for their 58th wedding anniversary on June 5th.
Sheldon Day, July 21st at 2.0
0pm, with the Fell Race on Thursday 19th at 7.30pm. With the growing success of the produce, poultry and pets show there is now a Sheldon Day Best in Show Cup to be awarded to the best-of-the-best in the produce tent. Victoria sponges, decorated cup cakes, miniature gardens-on-a-plate, home made jams and chutneys bring them all. The bunting is going up on Tuesday 17th July, so all help gratefully received from around 7.00 pm onwards. That evening Andrew will also be coming around collecting for the Chocolate Tombola, Bottle Stall, Books, Plants and any Raffle Prizes or bric-a-brac; please have anything spare ready! Also, please bring cakes and jams to the stall outside Top Farm on the Saturday.
Gemma and Alex’s wedding was held in our Church at the beginning of June. The rain held off just long enough for the bride and groom to go to the playing field for the post-nuptial photos…and a lovely couple they looked. It was great to see them both so happy, sitting on the swings in the playground as the photos were taken. Then off to the reception in a vintage car. A very happy event, and two very happy people. Congratulations and all the best for your life together.
A truly terrible day, weather-wise, for the Diamond Jubilee Cream Teas on the Bank Holiday Sunday. There might not have been many customers, but that didn’t matter. The bunting flapped happily and soggily in the breeze; the tables were decorated to perfection. The goodies table was full of locally made, grown, and laid produce. Sponge cakes, a diamond jubilee cake, lots of other eatables, eggs, biscuits etc and, ahhh, Rocky Road. Lindsey made the rocky road, my favourite, so we bought some to take to our friends in Austria on my first excursion away for about 12 months. As a special treat, Sarah, Colin and young Joshua made a sudden decision to fly over from Sydney to Vienna to holiday with us. For the last few days, as an extra treat, our son Andrew also joined us.
On Diamond Jubilee Tuesday afternoon, a village picnic on the playing field. It was a delight to see the great community spirit. About 35 came for the picnic; then it was time for rounders. It was great to see everyone having such family fun (fortunately I arrived after the teams had been picked). Pauline’s team always won (because of her demon bowling or is it pitching) and Colin Jones took the batting prize for furthest wallop. We have jubilee coins for all under 18s in the village, so if you haven’t claimed yours please contact Lindsey or Andrew. And there are Sheldon Day badges as well.
Vicar’s coffee morning is Tuesday July 3rd.Rich Text AreaToolbarBold (Ctrl + B)Italic (Ctrl + I)Strikethrough (Alt + Shift + D)Unordered list (Alt + Shift + U)Ordered list (Alt + Shift + O)Blockquote (Alt + Shift + Q)Align Left (Alt + Shift + L)Align Center (Alt + Shift + C)Align Right (Alt + Shift + R)Insert/edit link (Alt + Shift + A)Unlink (Alt + Shift + S)Insert More Tag (Alt + Shift + T)Toggle spellchecker (Alt + Shift + N)?
