Sweet Corn

We have never grown sweet corn before so Val and I shared 6 little plants three each and we grew ours in the Poly Tunnel and we were really pleased next year we are going to try more but outside lets hope we have a good summer.

We had almost finished trying them when I realised I had forgotten to take a photo something Siew Gin would not forget to do!!

Patrick said he did not like sweet corn but he could not resist trying it and he agreed we must grow some next year

Wivey Street Fair

We had a Street Fair at Wivey on the Sunday so it was an early start for Patrick and I to set up the stall ready for our first helpers to arrive, unfortunately our first committee members could not stay due to illness although they did bring along lemonade and marmalade. So our plans to go off for breakfast did not work.

 

The street Fair is for the 10 Parishes and well attended photo taken early just after setting up

 

 

Almost finished setting up forgot to take extra table covers so had to take this close up so you could not see all the boxes stored under one table.

 

 

The prints we were selling were done by Elizabeth Towner just before she died from MND originally they were being sold for £62.00 each, she left the balance of the prints to the branch to raise funds.

 

 

 

Teddy Bears made by my friend Daph from the scrap sheepskin and they all have names

 

 

 

 

Picture of Linda, Patrick and Phil I know she will not mind but she is 89 and still volunteering

 

Almost the end of a very long day Patrick and I just had the last one and half hours to go.

 

 

Although it was very tiring we met a lot of very nice people and also sold all our lemonade, Jam and Marmalade and other items so not a bad way to spend a Sunday.

 







Nature Reserve

Some new Geocaches came up quite near to us in a nature reserve we did not know about so as it was a sunny after on Sunday we decided to go and investigate.

It was very unusual the gentleman who owns it was charming and he made all the features himself Town Tree Nature Reserve at the end of the trail we met the owner who explained that he buys the horse shoes one ton at a time and makes all the structures himself.

 

This horse even has a plough taken just before number 3

Rare photo taken by Patrick

 

 

There was lots of structures like this and lots of benches

 

 

Ponds, lakes and fountains all man made

 

 

At second geocache we met Newsboy and his wife and decided to go round together it was a very enjoyable afternoon and we intent to go back again in the spring.
