Burwash

Flowers: I am amazed at how clever the ladies of the flower guild are. The arrangements at the St Bartholomew's The colours of God's Rainbow, flower festival were truly a magnificent sight. From the wild gardens to the artfully arranged they were just glorious. Guild leader Diana Workman told me that she was delighted that the ladies had seen her vision for the flowers and got it as she imagined it would look. The four day festival saw many visitors. One lady told me she had been four times to try taking it all in. The display on the font was lovely, some of the simplest arrangements were very pretty. The altars and aisles were all tastefully done. Well done to all who had a hand in it's creation.
