What a wonderful Easter break! Even the rain was welcome, and our gardens are all the better for it. If you have spotted a gap in the borders, then make a note of the Horticultural Society’s Plant Sale which will be on Saturday 17th May in the Village Hall. There are always some fabulous plants at very reasonable prices as well as gardening essentials like twine and plant tags.
