July's Poem

The Summer Sun is here to stay

(at least another week)

We use the time to work and play-

July is at its peak

The seeds we sowed in Spring have grown-

Their produce we consume;

And roses in their beds have shown

A colourful costume.

The heady scents of summer days

Can percolate the air;

And distance skies are hid by haze

The weather boding fair.

Community Art Day

Last Friday we held our second community art day, it was a great success and everyone enjoyed their selves, many thanks to all the artists and volunteers who made it such a good day.

June's Poem

June

The air is cool and into June -

The summer has escaped -

But Mother nature as a boon

The Earth with green has draped.

The nymphs they climb the Iris reeds

Emerge as dragonflies -

The bees and birds in summer meads -

The wind it tests and tries.

Despite the cold the humans sow

Their seeds, encourage flowers -

The Violets and some Pansies glow

And while away the hours.

Keith Pettit

Open Day

 Thank's to all the people that attended and thank's to the staff and volunteers that made the day so successful, in three hours we raised £650.00 which will be used for us to recover our old polytunnel.

May's Poem

A sudden splurge of green, and May is here,

The blossom has appeared, and all at once

The wintertime has gone from cold and sere,

But wind is from the north, and we ensconce

Ourselves within the cabin in response.

'We need some sunny weather' is the shout

A swift is spied, hallo to summer's scout
