The weather has been unseasonably warm and brought some surprises – I can’t remember seeing Fuchsias flowering this late into November before, added to that there are the odd flowers out on numerous other shrubs as well, several salvias are still flowering late into the season and Vibernum Carlcephalum, Crinodendron Hookerianum, Berberis x Stenophylla ‘Nana’ are coming out several months early and I’m not sure whether Eucryphia ‘Pink Cloud’ and Buddleja Colvilei are early or late but they are certainly not seasonal.
Some of the children from St Bartholomew’s School have been learning about the young soldiers from our village who lost their lives during war. The pupils then went on to decorate pebbles with poppies to remember them, they then came and laid them on the plinth around the War Memorial.
The QiB group thank Dave ( Mr B) for his care and attention to detail in treating and fitting our lovely new Picnic set at CVG. We are thrilled to have the new set in place and thank the Parish Council for funding it for the village. We realised villagers were using the garden for refreshments and hope this will add to their ease and enjoyment of the space.
The bedding around the War Memorial has been planted in Rainbow colours in gratitude for all who are facing difficulties or danger to protect us all. Thank you
