Village Show <\/span><\/b>– <\/span><\/p>\n

After much consideration, we regret that we will not be going ahead with the Village Show this year due to the ongoing global pandemic of COVID-19. We understand that this is disappointing news for everyone involved with the show, but our priority remains with the health and safety of our exhibitors, volunteers and the village. <\/span><\/p>\n

However, you can still show off your hard work for all to see on our Facebook page. We would love to see photos or videos of the items you would have entered.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Garden Jungle: <\/span><\/i><\/b>or Gardening to Save the Planet by Dave Goulson.

Dave Goulson gives us an insight into the fascinating and sometimes weird lives of these creatures, taking us burrowing into the compost heap, digging under the lawn and diving into the garden pond. He explains how our lives and ultimately the fate of humankind are inextricably intertwined with that of earwigs, bees, lacewings and hoverflies, unappreciated heroes of the natural world.

Sylvia\u2019s book of the month <\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Where the Crawdads Sing<\/em><\/strong> by Delia Owens. A debut novel by an American scientist. <\/span><\/p>\n

For years rumours of the Marsh Girl have haunted Barkley Cove, a quiet town on North Carolina\u2019s coast. So, in late 1969 when handsome Chase Andrews is found dead, the locals immediately suspect Kya Clark, the so- called \u201cMarsh Girl\u201d. But Kya is not what they say, sensitive and intelligent, she has survived for years alone in the marsh that she calls home, finding friends in the gulls and lessons in the sand. Then the time comes when she yearns to be touched and loved. When two young men from town become intrigued by her wild beauty, Kya opens herself to a new life – until the unthinkable happens. <\/span><\/p>\n

For me, this is a must-read, I loved it.<\/span><\/p>\n
