We couldn't agree more with Winds of Change! As always the village flowers are looking fabulous thanks to all the hard work of Jean and Sandy.

Whilst our head gardener isn’t keen to be photographed. You have to agree the trough at the water fountain, and the surrounding planters are looking superb.
Jean (and Sandy) give a lot to the village without asking for anything in return - except for a new barrow!
Job done, we all greatly appreciate and enjoy your combined efforts.
