The Swaffham Crier Online

Open Gardeners

It was a sun baked afternoon and the village was full of cool quilters and gasping gardeners. Judging by the comments, everyone that came, thoroughly appreciated the very hard work that had gone into making it such a success.

A very special thank-you to those that opened their gardens-Lynne and Peter Rand, Jonathan Cook at Fosters Mill, Peter and Mary Hart, Jean and Roger Connan, Charles and Fiona Terrington, Ruth and Robin Scovil, Frank and June Redhead and Mike and Elizabeth Tissier.

High on the appreciation list too, were the teas at the village hall, where most visitors rehydrated themselves. Thanks very much to all that brewed and baked wonderful cakes- my grandson thought his pink cake was the best he had ever tasted in the whole of his thirty months( at least, that is w hat the look on his face implied!)

Everyone should know that Lynne Rand has friends in high places - at the weather desk of Anglia T.V. They predicted sunshine and they told the whole of East Anglia on Friday tea time to come to Swaffham Prior on Sunday for a great Father's Day out. I think a lot of them did!
