Well ladies and gentlemen that is it for Wakes 2026 and what a week we have had. We have had everything from Carnival processions, Toboggan, treasure hunts, races, sheep shearing, fun and games, strong man and not forgetting Karaoke – who knew we were such a talented village 😜. I’m exhausted but smiling just thinking about them all.

Wakes would not be possible without the help and support from so many volunteers, the fair and their brilliant offer this year, the Carnival and Recreation Committee, the Oddfellows, Kirsty, Jane,Tom and the Sycamore Team and everyone at the Legion and many more unsung heroes such as Roger and Roy.

So from me to you and our special little village we call home thank you. It’s time for a rest now but we will be back in 2027.

We have some well loved furniture free to a good home. Great opportunity for an upcycle if anyone loves a project.

All of the  three coffee tables are pine (one is painted).

The roll top desk comes apart for easy transport. It too needs a bit of TLC on the finish but otherwise absolutely fine.

Otherwise off to the charity shop, but thought I’d offer it here first.

All the best,

Eleanor the Great follows Eleanor Morgenstein (June Squibb, herself 95 years old), a 94-year-old woman navigating grief and loneliness. After the loss of her best friend, she relocates from Florida to New York City to live with her daughter and grandson. Seeking companionship, she accidentally wanders into a support group for Holocaust survivors and begins passing off her late friend’s survival stories as her own to fit in. This escalates when she forms a close bond with Nina (Erin Kellyman), a young journalism student who wants to feature Eleanor’s experiences in an article. As she navigates the fallout with her family, the survivors, and Nina, she is eventually offered forgiveness and the opportunity to make amends.

Friday June 12th 7.45PM

I’m doing a (late) Spring clean in my garage & loft and have the following -used- garden items if anyone can make use of them. They are currently next to the skip just a little further up from the drive to The Croft, Creamery Lane: Garden Cloche; a large sheet of mesh netting to protect soft fruit; a plastic 4-tier mini greenhouse with metal frame.    

Help yourself.

Thank you,

Saskia Tallis
