SCOTT & SCOTT POP UP SHOP – AUGUST 1ST

Hi All,

We are planning to have fresh lamb for our August Pop Up.  It will be on Saturday 1st August. 

If anyone would like to order either a half or whole lamb, or any specific cut or joint, please let me know by Sunday evening, so I can arrange to pick enough lambs to go to the butcher.

I will send a further information detailing what else we will have fresh on that day. If anyone would like to visit to buy BBQ food, Sausage, Burgers, Steaks etc. please get in touch with me and we can arrange a time to browse or collect.

Kind regards,
Sue

AFTERNOON TEAS – SUNDAY JULY 12TH

We hope many of you and friends can be enticed to this Sunday’s  Teas at the Village Hall from 3:00 – 5:00 pm.

If you can’t stay, because it is the men’s Wimbledon finals at 4:00 pm, then bring along a box and make up a “takeaway” from our delicious selection of savoury and sweet delights!

All proceeds will be shared between the Village Hall, Church and the Playing Field.

Many thanks for your support and hope to see you on Sunday.

BOOKS! BOOKS! BOOKS!

Something a little different: two colouring books and pencils at the back of the church – just sit, relax and colour.

Another well written and plotted DI Ruth Hunter police procedural this month – the tension mounts in “The Harlech Beach Killings” – I would recommend this book.

Perhaps a little early to be thinking of Christmas stocking fillers but Ada Moncrieff’s “Murder at Maybridge Castle” – a Christmas mystery – might fit the bill.  Set in 1936 an innocent game of murder-in-the -dark turns into the real thing – a cosy crime caper.
