For several years I, amongst others, have asked Jeremy why there is an overproduction of fruit and vegetables and even a second large polytunnel at The Gables
Well now we know the answer. In the wake of the complete shambles over Brexit (what a horrible word that is), and as ministers resign by the minute, Jeremy will be stockpiling food in the event of chaos at the borders between our quaint Island and the rest of Europe. I suggest that you all get digging!
The tiny congregation has become old and infirm and it is difficult to find anyone to open and run the Mission in Chapel Lane.
At the triangle outside the St Denys Church one of the trees was decorated with crocheted, red poppies to commemorate Armistice Day.
The tiny garden won a “commended” award, in October 2018, for urban green spaces.
Today would have been dad’s 91st birthday, but he died four and half years ago at the age of 86 and just weeks after celebrating 65 years of marriage to mum. The party was held at The Gables and they were surrounded by friends and family , children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.

Today is also the fifth anniversary of the first “Gables Blog” which began on November 13th 2015. This is what the house and fields looked like back then and also the barn and stable block. Romantic but somewhat ramshackle! Here’s to happy anniversaries and good memories.
Made by our talented local artist, Felicity and gifted to us last year. I have photographed this before but couldn’t resist it again this morning.
(If you want to commission a star I think Felicity might be prepared to make one when she has time.)
