Sedlescombe

LENT LUNCHES: Lent lunches continue today, Friday February 27 at 2 Forge Cottages , The Green from 12noon to 1.30pm and will continue for the following four Fridays. Last weeks lunch was very successful even on the cold miserable day that it was even so visitors enjoyed a bowl of home made soup and crusty bread whilst meeting and chatting to other friends. Proceeds this year will be shared between Farm Africa and the Seaview Project in St Leonards. Everyone is welcome to attend and Margaret looks forward to welcoming you.
