Having read this article, I wonder if several options were missed off the survey re ‘the Creamery triangle’. https://www.rhs.org.uk/wildlife/lawn-and-mini-meadow-habitats

Strimming the edges of the green and leaving the central bit open to nature could be another option. This would hopefully alleviate the fears of people who worry about their view of the road being decreased; although I would argue that it could possibly force people to slow down – so maybe making it safer!  A partially mowed area could make an interesting study for the children of Parwich – what can they find/see in the mowed parts vs areas left to grow?  

Another option in the above article is to not mow from spring to the end of August. 

I don’t want to flog a dead horse, or cause an argument, but I’m not sure all options were carefully considered; there simply wasn’t enough reflection time given to issue. If not this year, perhaps something to consider next?

I had an uninvited guest parked on my drive way yesterday afternoon – a white car. 

Does anyone know the female with glasses who had the audacity to do so!

Thank you,

Alex S.

I just put a sheep and her two lambs in the goslings field as they ran up the road at the corner. 

Not sure whose sheep these are… She has the badger face.

It seems just in the last couple of nights, I’ve had someone poaching around the back garden. 

Could I please ask everyone to be vigilant and let’s keep an eye out if they return or are potentially also looking at visiting your home.

Thanks,

Alex S.
