The death of village resident Terry Mulligan from Cherrytree Gardens marks the passing of a highly regarded community member. Terry was founder of the village gardening club. He provided seeds and plants for many local projects as well as developing an allotment behind the Crown and Anchor to which all came for gardening advice or simply a chat. As a master baker he made bread sheaths of corn and hedgehogs for harvest festival in the village church. Terry also supported many initiatives in the village hall.
The Hearth cafe are promoting a pumpkin trail for families around the village and Horsley wood cottages. Kevin at the cafe will provide plastic trays for those taking part in order for you to safely put your Halloween treats and pumpkins. These will be placed at your doorstep to ensure social distancing. A map showing the location of the baskets will be provided for anyone taking part. The map can be sent by e mail or collected with your basket from the cafe.
Please contact the Hearth cafe by October 30th if you wish to join in the fun.

Items can be placed in the blue container next to the church noticeboard. Thank you for any donation. Tinned food only please.
