This week, the majority of our younger residents will be enjoying the school’s half-term break, meaning parents and carers will be busy keeping the young ones entertained. This could be an ideal opportunity for you to sort out some unwanted toys etc. Our Church are holding a Jumble Sale in the Village Hall from 2pm on Saturday 31st October. They have requested donations of clothes, bric-a-brac, any unwanted toys, games, books etc. And here’s a thing – if you come across any old ink cartridges, please deliver them to the village hall – we are now set up as an ink-cartridge recycling point
