11 April 2020 - Three items for your delectation
Firstly, an apology for being a little misleading in the last missive. Tony Ferrari will be putting out a food collection box tomorrow at the Telephone Box opposite the Cartshed. The mention of ‘a conservatory’ caused some confusion, as some of you were expecting something altogether more imposing. So that’s donations of food for the Littlemoor volunteer network to distribute in Preston and Littlemoor in the box by the TELEPHONE BOX tomorrow.
Secondly, there is on-going discussion as to how the Village Vegetable show might take place in virtual space. While this might not prove practical, Jez Cunningham points out that this weekend is the traditional time to plant your spud-in-a-tub entry. If you don’t start it off now you definitely won’t win, so give it a go. For anyone not familiar with the concept, the competition is for the heaviest quantity of potatoes grown in a tub, from just one seed potato. There has been debate in the past over what size of tub is allowed, but this has proved inconclusive. In my view, if you can’t lift it you wouldn’t be able to deliver it, so that should be the limit.
Thirdly, the free Register magazine is not being printed this month. There is an on-line version at http://www.registermagazine.co.uk/distribution.html?LMCL=yeEYYk
But just in case you share my computer skills, the May version of ‘Over the Hill’ is included above as an attachment.
Only 15,001 more Newsbites to my free coffee morning.
Stay safe and positive
