Saturday Fair
Hi All, I would like to encourage you all to drop into our Craft Fair this Saturday in the Village Hall. It opens at 11 am and will run to 4.00 in the afternoon. We will be serving light refreshments throughout the day including delicious baps, Cornish Pasties and Cheese & Onion Slices for lunch. In addition to some of the Crafts we had in May we have quality ironwork, local woodwork, ceramics, jewellery, Arran sweaters, exciting socks (bet you didn’t know socks can be exciting!), and, new to North Bovey, we’ve produced local Christmas Cards which the Friends will be selling. Come and find out why we’ve described this…

Incredible!
A very long way from North Bovey is a quite amazing place. Go to Google Earth and enter 16.86497, 11.95382. This is their story (link). I found it simply stunning.

Loss of Service
Apologies for the disappearance of the village blog this week. Fixed as soon as we were aware of it. In other news, nothing whatsoever has happened as far as we are aware. In fact we may have just seen a tumbleweed in the Newsroom. Maybe it was – a ghost?

Do we have a plan?
Thank you to the organisers of last evening’s drop-in meeting at the Village Hall. A well-attended event with lots of leaflets and feedback forms. Will we need a ‘Plan’? Will it generate lots of simple, effective initiatives to improve and enhance our glorious corner of Albion – or just a lot of pie-charts and stake-holder statements? What do you think? To those of you who are unfamiliar with Village Voices, this is an open forum for any parishioner’s voice. If you received this post in an email you are already a subscriber to Village Voices.

Sausages!
AVAILABLE NOW ! We have had the pleasure of sampling Peter Hunt’s unique Jacob Lamb Sausages, Mighty tasty they are too! The Mint sausages were a triumph with jacket potatoes and fresh home-grown runner beans. Our taste-buds are a-quiver at the prospect of trying the Cranberry variety. All in the knowledge that these very special Jacob sheep were raised in our village by a fellow whose sausages can only be matched by his fine Honey. Just have to get some for friends – but for now we are eating them all! Mint or Cranberry, £6.50 per kilo. Contact Peter Hunt T 01647 440322 peter@beesindevon.co.uk
