SCOTT & SCOTT POP UP SHOP

Hello Everyone,

Spring looks as if it has finally arrived, so lovely to see the sunshine, time to get out the BBQ.

We will be having our next Pop up Shop on Saturday 2nd May 11:00 am to 2:00 pm.  There will be Fresh Beef, as well as the usual selection of Homemade Sausage and Burgers Fresh Bacon.  Lamb, Venison and Ready meals from the freezer.

If anyone would like to order beef, we can ask our Artisan Butcher to cut joints etc. to suit your needs.  Some cuts are very popular and sell out quickly, so please order accordingly. If you require any additional information to help choose, please don’t hesitate to contact me either by email, or text Whats App etc.

If you are unable to come on May 2nd, I will be happy to either keep chilled for you, or freeze for collection by arrangement.

I will also be making sausages this week, it will be available on Saturday 25th, I will be around between 11:00 am and 1:00 pm.  Last chance to get your 10% off topside and brisket joints of Beef.

Feel free to call me at any time.

Kind regards,
Sue

MONTHLY WALK

More nature spotting –  join us for a walk to Leigh Lodge on Earth Day, Wednesday, 22nd April.

Meet in the Church porch at 10:00am.

Light refreshments available afterwards – please let Debra know if you intend to come.

,

CHURCH FUNDS

Just to keep our Parish Church open we need to raise nearly £33 each and every day.

We are looking at a number of fundraising ideas – would you be willing to join others in sponsoring a day – your birthday perhaps or wedding anniversary?  All donations, offers of regular giving or fundraising ideas to Debra, please.

BOOKS! BOOKS! BOOKS!

Who do you think you are?  When an unsigned postcard bearing the four first names of family who died in Auschwitz is received an investigation ensues not only into the identity of the sender but of the lives and deaths of those recorded on the postcard – a compelling read.  I heartedly recommend Anne Berest’s “The Postcard” to you.

The premise was promising – a whodunnit novel based on characters of the famous 1930’s Detection Club – Kelly Oliver’s “The Case of the Christie Conspiracy” – but it didn’t work for me, language and syntax all wrong!

A further volume of the “Down to Earth” series by Faith Addis, “Green Behind the Ears” is also available – a light, amusing read as the Addis family continue to run their Devon small holding and provide countryside holidays for young school age guests.

ECO CHURCH

Help us to track biodiversity in the churchyard.

Spring is a perfect time to spot nesting birds, insects and flowering plants.

Please jot down what you see on the Biodiversity List in the church porch.
