Wembley ... again!

So we're back at Wembley once more, this time for the Carabao Cup Final.

Our opponents, Manchester City, are second in the Premiership. They've won the Cup for the last two seasons and now look to make it three in a row. Having spent approximately thirty times more than Villa on their squad of elite footballers they're runaway favourites. Realistically, all we can hope is to make the score-line more respectable than the six-one thrashing inflicted on us at Villa Park last time the two teams met.

Undaunted we soak up that special Wembley atmosphere. We've come for the day and we're going to enjoy it!

 

 

 

community matters - delivery for you

In the mists of antiquity Hermes was the ancient Greek god of trade, wealth, luck, fertility, animal husbandry, sleep, language, thieves, and travel. Quite a broad brief, all things considered.

The modern-day Hermes plays a more mundane, but equally vital role in the life of a village community. It provides a courier and parcel delivery service.  Here's Leanne, our local Hermes lady. Not only does she bring parcels she also brings a huge, radiant smile and bags of energy. It's always a joy to open the door to greet her!

community matters - tea and tiles

Some medieval tiles were uncovered beneath the floor of our church during the course of a recent renovation project.  A great excuse to show them off and invite the village in for tea and cakes!  Over seventy people visited and here are just two of the happy tea drinkers.
