Sunday 8th July 2018 - Big Lunch

 

The annual big lunch where we invite villagers to bring a picnic and join us in the wood. It doesn't look hot in the pictures but it was a very warm afternoon and adults searched for the shade while the children amused themselves running round the paths as usual.
Not so many people this year but there have been lots of village events recently and maybe the beach was more tempting!

Woodland Service - Sunday 8th July 2018

On Sunday 8th July the church held the regular family service in the woodland glade.

It was a lovely morning and a perfect setting for thinking about how lucky we are to have such a beautiful space in the village.

Led by Revd Susan Bates and Veda Berrimen it also included a singing walk around the woodland.

Sunday 1st July 2018 - Work Party

It has been dry month, well couple of months really, so the growth in the woodland has slowed down completely. The grass had been cut in the week by some members unable to make it on the day.

The stinging nettles were cut back round the den but the hazels are taking a long time to grow.

Cherries, redcurrants and gooseberries ready for picking, if you're quick!

The path and glade edges were made tidy and a number of planted trees cleared around. The named fruit trees, old and new, were put on a map.

It was a hot day and all the jobs were done so we were glad of early refreshments.
