Burwash

Spring show: Last week the Burwash Horticultural society held another successful Spring show. There were some beautiful entries in all the catergories. The afternoon visitors were amazed at the show of daffodils. One visitors wondered how they kept them alive when most of the one in her garden were done. I guess that is the knowledge the horticulturalists have that we don't. I don't have the list of winners yet, but I congratulate all the those who entered the show and especially the winners. The gardeners will next have their Sweetpea, Delphinium and Rose shoe in June.

After 8: The After Eight club will have their April meeting on Wednesday evening in the Pavilion in Burwash Common at 8pm This month they will have someone from the Jubilee Sailing Trust visit them and explain how disabled people are given the chance to sail a tall ship along side able-bodied people. This is a fantastic charity. I was lucky enough to be given a tour of the ship they sail when it was docked in London. It is a really great idea and I could tell how much work had gone in to making sure that everyone had a great time but was kept safe. The members will also be planning for their coffee morning which is being held on 22 April.
