a warm welcome

 

 

What a fantastic night we had!

 

The latest event in our village's Local Community Group calendar took place on Friday. A visit to what had once been a derelict local pub and which is now the beautiful home of Graham and Farah.

 

The mulled wine flowed and the 'bring and share' feast went down a treat. Regrettably, my butlering duties meant I couldn't photograph everyone who attended but hopefully the pictures below give a flavour of the night...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Marigolds, Margeritas and Music

 

 

'Marigolds, Margeritas and Music'. It's an intriguing title that conjures up images of drunken party revellers doing the washing-up donned in  matching yellow rubber gloves. 

 

All things are possible in this sleepy English hamlet which I now call home but I'm sorry to disappoint! The title refers to an annual music-festival held in the back-garden of one of our lovely neighbours. It's a bit like WOMAD, but on a smaller scale. The musicians are drawn from all across the UK - well, the Midlands, Burton and Devon to be precise - and over the course of nine hours they provide a veritable feast of entertainment.

A very big thank you to everyone who played, and to Joe who organised it all. Can't wait to find out how much money you've raised for 'Acorns'!
