Summer Show
















Two weekends ago it was our Village Summer Show, organised by the Gardening Club. The committee (of which I am a member) worked hard to set up all the tables and display shelves in the Village Hall in time for the arrival of the entries. There were classes for fruit and vegetables of all kinds, flowers and floral arrangements, home made wines and drinks, jams, marmalades and chutneys, crafts, sculpture, paintings and photographs. Then the judges came and carefully deliberated. I was pleased to win first prizes for a turned boxwood sewing kit and thimble I had made and for my damson gin - the gin also earned me the Longclose Cup for the best entry in the wine section. It was a lovely village event.
