Hello Everyone

I hope you are enjoying some holiday rest, with some time to unwind. without suffering too much hindrance from the rain. It's certainly been wet at times this week.. but it is a relief to think that the weather may improve next week. Each sunny interval lifts the spirits and the energy levels!

Nigel and I grabbed a day out at Hyde Hall RHS flower show on Thursday. It was a lovely interlude in the week, although the journey took much longer than expected with so many cars queuing to get in. Everyone had decided to go on Thursday as it was so wet on Wednesday and Friday! But we enjoyed exploring the grounds and the stalls, being inspired by the colourful flower beds and vegetable gardens, resting over a pot of tea, and needless to mention, I also succumbed to buying a few more plants! It was good to be away for a few hours together.

There have been other special moments this week including the Creative Art session at Wilkinson Hall on Wednesday morning Thank you to all who helped, It was such a pleasure to see the children so involved in their art work and exploring the world of paint! I hear the Ploughman's meal went very well this month too.. so thank you all for your involvement and support for this valued event.
