24 February 2022 - Village bulb planting day; Appeal for photo
Hello everyone,
A recent Newsbite mentioned the Village Platinum Jubilee Committee’s wish to “ …..to enhance our very beautiful village by planting snowdrops now and in the Autumn. Perhaps organising a village bulb planting day?” and asking you to let them know if “….you would like to help plant …. bulbs …… or provide some bulbs”. Thanks to everyone who pledged support, and advice on planting snowdrops. Jon went on to purchase a large quantity of snowdrops for the SP Society and these have now been delivered. I know how many, but it is such a large amount that Jon probably hasn’t counted them all and we wouldn’t want to be sued if it turns out we are a couple short. Anyway, enough back covering. So, the first village bulb planting will take place on Monday 28 February, meeting at 1000 hrs at the Cartshed. This is opposite the Village Information Centre and Library (or the Phone Box for those more literally minded). If you can spare a little time and have a trowel – so no heavy digging - then please turn up and lend a hand. The more volunteers the less time it will take. I hope to see you there.
The recent storms caused havoc across the country and in the village. I’m told that a tree fell across the Mission Hall “passenger drop off” area. By the time I carefully ventured out, being so light that I could easily have been knocked over by the wind, it had disappeared. If you have a photograph of it, could you forward it to me so I can share it.
Some more information about the Village Bio-diversity Group to follow soon.
Stay safe
Chris
