View from the Pew

Our church has been very busy in the last few weeks. On 20th September seven of us celebrated our first mid-week Holy Communion led by Mike. A reading from the bible was thoughtfully considered fol-lowed by our prayers and the Communion itself. Coffee, cake and a chat was enjoyed afterwards. The following Sunday it was Grafham's turn to host the "All Together" Holy Communion service. This was led by a visiting Curate Revd Sid Bridges who delighted us with his entertaining sermon.

On Saturday 6th October we were pleased to welcome a group of volunteers to a meeting to discuss church-yard maintenance with a view to creating wildflower areas. A plan of action was decided and readers will be kept informed of progress.

Our Harvest Festival on a glorious October day was attended by 33 people. We heard the story of the para-ble of the sower and traditional Harvest hymns were sung. All donated food was sent to the Food Bank. 24 people sat down to the delicious bring and share lunch.

The first of our new Taize services will be on Sunday 28th October at 7.30pm and the second on 25th No-vember. Do come along and experi-ence this tranquil and meditative service with music and candles.

The next two mid-week Holy Communions will be on 1st and 29th November at 10am. You are welcome to all our services, whether regular churchgoers or new-comers, we will be pleased to see you.

The Remembrance Sunday service on 11th November will be at Ellington as it is their scheduled Family Ser-vice. This being the centenary of the end of World War 1 we are sure many will wish to attend. Grafham men who gave their lives will be remembered as always. As usual we will assemble in the churchyard by the War Memorial at 10.50am. On a more sober note it is apparent that some dog owners are not clearing up after their pet in the church-yard. We would ask those people to do so and keep our churchyard clean and welcoming for all.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

On Fourth Sundays, an ‘All Together’ Holy Communion Service rotates between the three churches.

PARISH NEWS October 2018

At this month’s meeting, the Council were asked about the condition of the hedges along the Bramp-ton Lane. In some places, the growth is such that it restricts free movement for cars and cyclists alike, posing physical dangers as well as damage to vehi-cles. This is a perennial issue and, as in previous years, the Council will discuss with landowners and or Cambridgeshire Highways. The Brampton end is most-ly managed by a voluntary working party and, although there is a question over where the boundary lies, the Grafham end could benefit from similar attention if people are willing. In any event the Council will be in contact with the landowners to seek a commitment to the maintenance of the hedges and the clearing away of fallen branches.

The Chair of the Shop Committee attended the meet-ing to seek some financial assistance for the shop over the winter months. In a separate article (on page 5) you can read the transcript of the request and the Council’s response to it.

Two members of the Speedwatch team attended to update the Council on their activities. So far nine ses-sions of monitoring have taken place with an approxi-mate 12% of vehicles travelling in excess of 30 mph. At the Church Road end of the village, monitoring has so far been confined to traffic leaving the village. Moni-toring traffic coming into the village on Buckden Road is hampered by the height of the verges on that side of the road. It is unclear who would be responsible for the verges and the Council will search its archives to find

out who owns the water tower and its land.

The regular monthly reports received from Cllr Darren Tysoe and Cllr Peter Downes can be viewed in full on the village website www.grafham.org.uk

The Council agreed to provide help to the Community Pub by granting £642 towards the

purchase of sanitary ware.

The grant application for the resurfacing of the all-weather pitch has been completed. Four tenders have been received and the most cost effective in terms of life span and maintenance came from the original in-stallers at £17,900.00. The Council unanimously agreed to appoint En-Tout-Cas as the contractor of choice.

A quote for the cost of three speedwatch signs and their installation at £367.00 was accepted and agreed. The A14 traffic monitoring device has been installed on Breach Road to monitor numbers and speed. Feedback is expected possibly by the end of October.

Street-lighting as a future topic for discussion has been suggested. Are there too many lamp-posts or too few? Are they in the right places? If you have a view, please let us know.

The next PC meeting is scheduled for 13th November 2018 – 7.30pm at the Village Hall – everyone wel-come.

‘Be Extra Vigilant’ For readers without a facebook account, the following message was recently posted on the Grafham Friends

Facebook page.

Due to recent break-ins and attempted break-ins of business premises as well as private residences within the

area of Grafham, we would like to ask that the public be extra vigilant of suspicious behaviour and vehicles.

Please ensure that you have locked your business premises securely and activated your alarm systems. Please

report any suspicious activity to 101 and check your CCTV footage regularly. It is not our wish to frighten anyone,

but to draw attention to the situation. Please be safe, keep an eye on neighbouring properties and report anything

suspicious. We would rather be called several times to the same job, than not at all. Thank you

Huntingdon Police

A request for assistance for the Community Shop

Request:

Martin Joyner, chairman of the Shop Committee, at-tended the PC meeting to ask the Parish Council to consider providing some financial support for Grafham Community Shop and he made the following points

The shop has been a success for the village. It was a large effort to establish the shop and it is now in its 5

th

year of trading. People in the village want a shop as shown by the survey which was part of the parish plan. The shop is beneficial to our community as it gives op-portunities for villagers to interact. People who are new to the village are able to meet residents and for those unable to travel out of the village it is an important bit of independence. Its presence has been known to have a positive impact on house prices.

However, the financial position of the shop is very frag-ile and there is a risk that the shop may not survive the winter months if takings across the winter are similar to last year. The shop made a loss of £1,875.46 in 2017/2018 and takings so far this year are 7% less than last year. Custom from the caravan site has gone down as the site now stocks some basic provisions. Some costs have gone up including wages, pensions and power costs.

In an effort to improve our takings, we have improved signage and advertising (Facebook and leaflets). A re-cent leaflet has asked people to support the shop in one of several ways including making a monthly sub-scription to which several people have reacted favoura-bly. We have taken steps to further control stock pur-chases and costs and we have reviewed our over-heads.

We are in the process of applying for community fund-

ing. We have an application with the Skipton Building Society (success is subject to a voting process), a new application with Aviva and we are investigating A14 funding.

However, we are in need of guaranteed financial sup-port in the short-term and turn to the Parish Council for assistance, either as a small monthly contribution to our electricity costs which are approximately £250 a month, or as a grant of £3000 to see us across the winter, paid in instalments and subject to monthly reports on pro-gress as provided by the shop management.

Response:

Following this request from the Community Shop, the Parish Council gave due consideration to the important role the shop has in providing a convenience to most of the village and a life-line to some. We should remem-ber that the village overwhelmingly agreed that a shop was one thing that the village was missing at the time of the Parish Plan and that most people wanted to have. The shop has provided help to younger villagers in en-hancing their life skills and their CVs and helping with their Duke of Edinburgh award schemes. Housebound villagers are able to get out and walk to the shop rather than rely on others to shop for them. New-comers are integrated into the community.

Because of this, the Council has agreed to cover the cost of electricity supplies to the shop until the end of the financial year (31.03.19) at approximately £250 each month. We will receive regular financial updates.

There is still, however, some concern over the long-term viability of the shop and we are seeking your view as to if and how the Parish Council can best help to keep the shop open.

The Council views the shop as a very important part of village life and would welcome your ideas on how we can help it survive and succeed.

A few items taken from the September Newsletter for Buckden & Little Paxton Surgeries

If you missed the flu day on Saturday 29th September at Buckden and Little Paxton Surgeries there is another one on Thursday afternoon 22nd November at Buckden Surgery. Please ask at Reception about booking an appointment. You are eligible to receive a free flu jab if you:

are 65 years of age or over

are pregnant

have certain qualifying medical conditions

are a carer

An enhanced vaccine, an adjuvanted vaccine, will be given this year to patients aged 65 and over. This vac-cine contains extra ingredients designed to help older immune systems develop a stronger defence against flu. Patients under 65, in the at-risk groups, will be given a vaccine that protects against four types of flu.

Childhood Influenza Vaccination We can offer nasal flu vaccination to children aged two and three (but not four years or older) on 31st August

2018 (date of birth on or after 1st September 2014 and on or before 31st August 2016). Please call reception to book an appointment in our dedicated clinics in October and November.

Children in reception class and school years 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 (date of birth on or after 1st September 2008 and on or before 31st August 2014) should be offered the vaccination in school.

By having your flu jab here at the surgery, this helps us enormously to achieve our targets and reduce administrative burden.

Extended Hours As part of the pilot scheme for the provision of extended access in West Cambs, on the 1st September we began hosting extended access clinics at Buckden Surgery.

From October, extended access appointments will be available every evening and weekend morning. Our local clinics will be held at Buckden Surgery and Crom-well Place Surgery (St Ives) alternately. Additionally clinics will also be held at Cornerstone Surgery (March)

Grafham Beekeepers Group Grafham beekeepers group was formed two years ago after a facebook post on Grafham village friends asking who in the village was interested in getting together to keep bees.

Five of us were interested and after some research we joined Huntingdonshire Beekeepers Association(HBKA,) who run a course every year at Hinching-brooke apiary, and after two classroom sessions and a practice day at the apiary we were ready to go.

By the spring of 2017, with kind help from the parish council, we had a hive; a swarm of bees quickly arrived which our HBKA mentor settled in to the hive. We soon encountered one of the problems in beekeeping when within weeks our queen bee died, which is when we discovered that new queen bees can be bought and sent out via post! So, with our new queen safely de-livered we spent the summer making sure the colony was growing and they were all healthy and disease free, and fed them weekly throughout autumn to pre-pare them for winter.

Having such a harsh winter meant many beekeepers lost their colonies last year due to cold or hunger and so we were hugely relieved to open the hive this spring and find they had survived. In fact, the colony grew so much over the spring that they got too big for the hive and one day we arrived to find half of our bees had swarmed and were hanging from a tree

nearby! Luckily with the help of a bucket at-tached to a pole we man-aged to safely collect them and deliver them to a new home with an-other HBKA member.

Our remaining bees have thrived this summer and whilst we've had a few stings but no honey as yet, we have all enjoyed learn-ing so much from the bees and our mentor over the past two years.

If anyone else is interested in knowing more out bees, beekeeping or even better, joining our group please let us know on [email protected]

Collecting the bees that had swarmed

I recently spent the week at Launde Abbey on retreat. Unexpectedly, I was down to stay in The Hermitage (think cabin in the woods). At first, I was a little disap-pointed not to be in the main house and I must confess that during the first night I kept expecting to see a ghoulish face pressed against my window; it was a little bit too isolated and, as they say in the movies, “Nobody will hear you scream out here!”

As I sat and pondered my isolation and lack of any mo-bile phone signal or internet connection, I reminded myself that I had, in fact, come here to get away from all of that. This was time set aside to be with God, to read and pray; these days were “holy days”, a sabbath rest from all that other stuff.

If something is holy it is set aside from the ordinary things for a special purpose, this is where we get our word holiday from. So, I settled in to see what would happen. I slept a fair bit (I like to think of this as holy rest!), I read three books in four days and I enjoyed some fantastic meals in the main house but, because I was staying in the hermitage, they assumed I would want to be alone so sat me apart from the other guests.

As I adjusted to my holy days I really did feel closer to God and it started me thinking that everyone should do this. Not necessarily in the hermitage at Launde Ab-bey, but we should all take some time away from dis-

tractions to just ‘be’ with God. None of us would let the oppor-tunity for a traditional holiday pass if we could prevent it but I wonder how many of us just take some time to be alone and focus on God. It doesn’t have to be a week; I realise that one of the privileges of my role is that I can take such time out and it counts as ‘work’. If we tried though, most of us

could manage 24 hrs, half a day or just a couple of hours

I’d like to encourage you to look at your diaries and plan a holy day at some point in the next six months. Select a good book and go away to a quiet place; switch off your phone, leave your laptop behind and try to be attentive to God. A modern contradiction of sorts is that He is always speaking but we are usually too busy to hear.

Do you recognise this local road?

Yes, it’s a photograph of Breach Road, Grafham, possibly taken in 1903. In the distance you can see the railway

signal box and level crossing, in line where The Wyvern is now. The original photograph was found in Huntingdon-

shire Record Office by Jill Tyack some years ago.

The Huntingdon, Thrapston, and Kettering Railway was opened for goods and passengers in 1866. The stations

between Kettering and Huntingdon were Brampton, Graffham (renamed Grafham in 1877) Kimbolton, Raunds,

Thrapston, Twywell, and Crawford. Passengers could continue on to Cambridge by using the Midland trains run-

ning over the Great Eastern from Huntingdon. Grafham Railway Station closed in 1959, along with the rest of the

Kettering to Thrapston line. Source Wikipedia

Buckden Gardeners Association is a group of people who meet on the third Tuesday of the month from October to April in Buckden Village Hall. Topics are varied, focusing on gardening but also include related subjects such as ‘Wild flowers and their habitat’ and ‘Birds of Paxton Pits’.

Next month, we are pleased to welcome Geoff Hodge, who will give us a talk entitled ‘Colour in Your Garden All The Year Round’. Geoff is a freelance gardening author and ra-dio and TV broadcaster and is the former editor of Garden-ing News. Last year he gave us a very entertaining talk on Roses and we are very much looking forward to his visit this year.

Geoff will be with us on Tuesday 20th

November at 7.45pm at Buckden Village Hall, Burberry Road, Buckden, PE195UY. All are welcome.

For further information please visit our website www.buckdengardeners.info or just come along.

Rosemary Surridge, Secretary

You may book to see a GP, a practice nurse or a health care assistant at any clinic for routine mat-ters.

Please call reception to book these appointments. You will be seen by local GPs and nurses, but it is unlikely that you will be seen by your own GP or nurse. If you prefer to see your usual GP or prac-tice nurse, please book an appointment during the normal hours.

Please note, these are not walk-in appointments – all appointments should be booked in advance

These extended access appointments are in addi-tion to the regular out of hour’s appointments avail-able at Buckden surgery on a Monday evening and early and late GP telephone appointments.

1. Volunteers

Our volunteers have been out using the Speed-watch kit and have, over the past couple of weeks, recorded over 150 vehicles exceeding the posted limit (anything 35mph and over) and they continue to run further sessions. The valuable information they've recorded is collated and then sent to the police liaison officer, who follows up and arranges for the appropriate further action to be taken against the offending owners.

We will also find out soon how many of these official letters have gone out and if any other action has also been deemed necessary (as we're aware of a number of "repeat offenders”) and we'll update you on these.

We are still a bit short of trained volunteers, so if anyone would like to see if this is something they could help with, they should get in touch with us and we can arrange for you to shadow part of one of the sessions, to see what's involved and then get trained up. The volunteers all agree that it’s actually a fun ex-perience and you get to meet others from the village whilst working on improving road safety and driver ed-ucation in the community. Please contact Carole Thomas by email: [email protected]

2. Speedwatch

We'd like to thank all of you who've taken the time to come out to encourage the Speedwatch teams -

whether by bringing them welcome pots of tea, cakes etc or by giving words of support - it's very much ap-preciated. All the volunteers are giving up their spare time to run these sessions, so it's good to hear from you all.

3. Signage via Parish Council (PC)

The cost of the Speedwatch signs has been approved by the PC and our thanks for that and we're advised that these have been ordered for both ends of the vil-lage and also on the approach road into Grafham from Brampton. It's another educational tool to remind driv-ers that this is a rural village with a 30mph speed limit and one that is actively being monitored and enforced by the community.

4. Traffic Monitoring Device

The A14 team have supplied a traffic monitoring de-vice which records the quantity of vehicles travelling along the road and their speed in both directions. The data is anonymous and used for statistics only. It is not sent to the police and the file is downloaded mid Octo-ber by the A14 team. The PC expects to be given a copy of this data. We intend approaching them and asking that they agree to supply a permanent camera led one of these units from their Heritage Fund, as an ongoing real benefit to the village.

5. Hedgerows

A number of people have raised their concerns about

the overgrown state of the hedgerows along the main road in the village and on the back road into Brampton and the danger from the reduced visibility it causes. The PC are looking at this and some of the villagers have also been in touch directly with Cambs CC. The latter have agreed that the Brampton Road foliage is a particular concern and will be taking appropriate ac-

tion.

6. Campaign action points

The campaign is hoping to raise funding for as many of these additional options as possible, This will in-clude applications to Cambs CC, the A14 Heritage Fund and other suitable funding sources.

A 40mph limit to be placed before the Anglian Water Visitors Centre on the way into the village to reduce speed past the entrance and exits to the centre. The road is used by both pedestrians and cyclists, both adults and children, who are using the facilities at the Centre.

The 30mph sign at the Perry end to be moved to just before the corner cottages to slow the traffic coming

round that corner. If that isn’t possible, then the 30mph sign to be at least moved to where the village sign is. At the moment it is too close to the first houses.

“Gates” to be erected at both ends of the village.

These could perhaps incorporate the 30mph sign, vil-lage sign and the Speedwatch signs. The feeling is that the gates indicate you are entering a “community “ where people are taking care of the village and its in-habitants.

Lines painted on the approach roads to make them appear narrower, speed limits painted on road or any other road painting options which could help.

A chicane has been discussed and would be an op-tion if made effective i.e. covering half of the road.

Grafham Road Safety Campaign Update






Times gone by! Shortly after arriving and settling in at Sennybridge I

was put in control of an all night patrol, Thursday

through to Friday Oct 21st 1966. Just before signing

off I was telephoned and informed of a disaster at

Aberfan which was not far away. I knew Wendy had

relatives in the area so I went to tell her what had hap-

pened. I told her that as I was off duty from 0900 that

day until First Parade Wednesday, I was going to see

what I could find out and to help if needed. Her imme-

diate reaction was she was coming with me. I was not

surprised at that reaction knowing her as I did. We

immediately set out and arrived to find complete de-

struction of a school and nearby houses with many people working frantically to clear away the slurry and

brickwork. As I was in uniform, the local head of Civil

Defence (Alf) asked if I could help, as if I needed ask-

ing. Wendy went off with the Red Cross and Salvation

Army and helped them out feeding and looking after

the rescuers. The senior Red Cross Nurse told me

how hard she worked. I knew that would happen.

Alf put me to work with Pete Evans, (his Second In

Command,) we both grabbed a shovel and started

work. Some of what we saw and recovered made me

ill, also Peter, but we carried on through the day some-

how. The Mines Rescue teams from the area were

there and were a godsend in emotional and practical

help, as were the Red Cross doctors and nurses, and the Sally Army, (Salvation Army). I think it would have

been very difficult for me to have carried on without

those guys. They were saints. In the afternoon

‘second say’ was asked by Alf if I would act as security

control at the clearing station, (the Baptist Chapel) to

keep the press away from the relatives who were wait-

ing to identify their loved ones. I had no trouble at all

until a Swedish Reporter tried to gain access. I won't

go into detail, but he was sent packing. If the relatives

had heard what he said, there would have been a mur-

der! In some respects securing the Clearing Station

was more traumatic than the actual clearing. Some of

the sights were and still are very raw. In my mind, I

can still see the numbers of coffins inside the chapel,

some marked, "Not advisable to view"

The work carried on until Tuesday, which at that point

we rested. We returned to barracks on the Wednesday

in a very dirty and muddy state. I left Wendy at her work place, went to my bunk, fell on the bed and slept

until Thursday, to be woken by a very loud voiced

Regimental Sergeant Major (RSM,) who told me I was

on a charge for AWOL (Absent Without Leave) and to

report to his office within 2 hours. I cleaned myself up,

put on clean No.2 uniform and reported. I was

marched into the Commanding Officer’s (CO's) office

to face the charge. I did not know until my return that

the weeks' orders were not published until 1600 Friday

which had I been there would have noticed that I was

ordered as Fire Picquet NCO. When the Colonel was

told by the RSM where I had been, he tore the charge

sheet up and shook my hand! That was unheard of!

I went to see Wendy and her boss was totally off her

mind with anger, she said I was a bad influence on Wendy and had sent her to another station, Dering

Lines in Brecon, home of the 2nd Parachute Regi-

ment. We managed to keep in touch which turned out

to be a bonus.

The total dead numbered 144, (116 children - of which

109 died within the school) five of the adults were

teachers. An additional six adults and 29 children were

injured. A whole generation wiped out by one person’s

incompetence.

To this day I cannot stand the smell of wet coal dust.

Talk about flashbacks.

Dave Anthony, 1 Breach Road

Talking Shop Thank you to everyone who attended the recent AGM and we hope you found it informative. There was a lot of discussion about how the community can support the shop especially during the coming Winter months which are always challenging.

By now every household should have received a leaflet detailing “Five easy ways to help your Community Shop”. If for any reason you haven’t seen this, there are spare copies in the shop so pop in and see us.

The main ways you can help are:

1. Use the shop! If each household was to spend just £6 per week we would hit our sales target every month.

2. Volunteer to help. We’re a friendly bunch and we really appreciate the time our volunteers give to the shop. This enables us to do paperwork, banking and source stock. A lot of what we sell in the shop we phys-ically go and get as the quantities of stock we keep are too low to use wholesalers.

3. Become a Grafham Community Shop Support-er. Are you able to donate £5 or £10 per month by

standing order to ensure your village shop is sus-tained? Please contact us for our bank details.

4. Spread the word. Tell everyone you know what an asset you have in your village.

5. Give us your feedback. We always appreciate constructive comments so let us have your ideas for making the shop even better.

The committee has been to the Parish Council with a request for financial help and you can read about this in this month’s Gossip.

There is no doubt that the shop is an asset to the vil-lage and we’re sure that if we all pull together we can continue to make it a great success for all.

Autumn Leaves Autumn is a season that can announce itself like no other. The change from a blanket of green to a kaleido-scope of yellow, orange, red and purple can be spec-tacular, but rarely lasts long.

So what brings these changes about? All leaves contain pigments that are involved in the trees’ energy gather-ing process. The best known of these is chlorophyll, the main chemical involved in the process of photosynthe-sis. However there are two other groups present in var-ying degrees depending on the species, the caratenes and the anthocyanins. As the days grow shorter and the suns’ light grows weaker the production of chlorophyll

slows and even-tually stops causing the green colour to fade from the leaves. This al-lows the other pigments to show through, the caratenes producing yel-low and orange colours and the anthocyanins producing the darker reds and purples. The levels of each pigment within the leaf can vary not only be-tween species

but also with weather conditions. A dry summer can increase the levels of anthocyanins as can sunny au-tumn days as the sunlight converts sugars left in the leaves into these pigments. Eventually the tree with-draws all the nutrients it can from the leaves and stores them in the trunk and root system as amino acids. This causes the colours fade somewhat but it is another pro-cess that makes the leaves fall from the trees.

During growth of the leaf in spring, a layer of cells grows at the root of the leaf stem called the abscission layer. Whilst the leaf is producing energy, there is a movement of hormones between the leaf and the tree, one of which is auxin. As photosynthesis slows so does the flow of auxin, this reduction causes the cells in the abscission layer to change. Eventually these cells weaken and the leaf falls, or is blown, from the tree. Once separated from the parent plant the remaining pigments break down leaving the only the brown, dead cell walls that made up the structure of the leaf.

These processes occur in all trees, but with evergreens like Holly it is occurring all the time and new leaves im-mediately grow in to re-place those lost so it is not noticeable. But why do trees drop their leaves at all? One rea-son is to allow the tree to retain mois-ture as leaves lose large amounts of liquid through their surface area, another is because as the tree enters its dormant phase energy requirements are much lower.

So, when you’re walking through a wood full of golden leaves give a thought to the complex biological process-es going on around you.

A major new strength and balance campaign is launch-

ing this International Older People’s day to help people

in Cambridgeshire stay stronger for longer.

After breaking a bone in her back two years ago,

Margaret found that normal activities were extremely

difficult. However, thanks to some simple regular

strength and balance exercises at Brampton Memorial

Hall, she is now on the road to recovery and doing the

things she enjoys again.

The 74-year-old, who lives in Brampton, is now reaping

the rewards of regular exercise after signing up in Jan-

uary.

Margaret said: “When I first broke a bone in my back, a

simple task like ironing was agony. I saw an advert in

the Brampton Parish Magazine for strength and

balance classes and thought I’d give them a go. As a

result I am now definitely stronger, even my husband

has noticed how my confidence and mobility have

much improved. I can do simple tasks again that I once

took for granted and also do the things I enjoy like

gardening. I would certainly encourage all older people

to give the strength and balance exercises a go to

make sure they are getting the most out of life and stay

stronger for longer.”

Simple strength and balance exercises twice a week

are proven to keep you stronger for longer so you can

keep independent and enjoying the great things in life,

whether it’s playing with grandchildren, shopping, so-

cialising with friends or gardening.

For success stories and more information on classes

and activities in Huntingdonshire visit www.cambridgeshire.gov.uk/strongerforlonger

The Stronger for longer campaign has been developed

by Cambridgeshire County Council working with local

NHS health partners.

Strength and balance classes help local lady stay stronger for longer

Churchyard Makeover The churchyard is having a makeover. As we started removing brambles and unwanted vegetation the weather im-proved. Fortified with delicious refreshments, we got to work with the strimmers, which made relatively light work of the overgrown graves area and also with the hedge cutters to tidy the garden of remembrance. The rest of the party got to work clearing brambles, invasive shrubs and a vast amount of non biodegradable ribbons and oasis on the South side of the graveyard. It was great fun and if anyone would like to join us next, please do Contact Jean for details, email: [email protected]
