Thank You
Very many thanks to all of those people – a few of whom are pictured here (pdf file) – who came along and helped to tidy the village on Sunday afternoon. You all did a splendid job, and the roadsides, pavements and paths around the village now look so much better.
Please can we all help to keep the village looking tidy, now that the Best Kept Village season is almost here.
