Fire!
We’re slowly removing a row of leaylandii from the garden and despite stuffing our green bin with the cuttings every fortnight, we’re amassing quite a pile of branches. Is anyone planning on having a seasonal bonfire we might be able to contribute to? Becks

Armchair
Hi Everyone, My father had a hip replacement yesterday and he is coming down to stay with us for a week or so whilst he gets back up and running again. Apparently, he’s not meant to sit on sofas, he needs to sit somewhere where his knees are lower than his hips. I think if he sat on one of our sofas he’d never get up again! We were wondering whether anyone in the village might have a high-backed/upright armchair we could borrow for a week whilst he’s here staying with us? Many thanks Rebecca Hilton

Hello all Our next OAFs meeting will be tomorrow (Monday) 15th September in the Parish Hall at 7.00pm. It would be great to see you, if you’re able to come.

We haven’t been going long, but we’re planning generally to meet once a month and each session will have a pre-declared topic for discussion, to which you will be expected to respond by bringing with you a piece of literary work.
