If you cannot mould yourself entirely as you would wish, how can you expect other people to be entirely to your liking?

Cream Teas for Branchlines



To Bantocks Road this afternoon for delicious Cream Teas in aid of Branchlines, the Great Waldingfield Community Woodland Project. We all sat in the pleasant garden of Chris and Ann Frances and scoffed large plates of scones, cream and jam. Now we will all have to sign up for one of the regular working parties at the woodland site in order to burn off the calories!

On the whole all is going well at the woodland site. The trees are thriving due to the above average rainfall that we have been ‘enjoying’.

One problem has been that the site has been the target of ubiquitous fly-tippers, a large pile of waste having been removed by Babergh recently. If you are walking in the area and see anything suspicious do let the Council know. If you can (safely) take the registration number of any cars/vans that seem to be up to no good, even better! There is a spot on the website where you can make an e mail report, or alternatively there is a dedicated phone number to call.

I understand that around £150 was made at the event. I was lucky enough to win a raffle prize...the Christmas tablecloth and napkins will certainly be useful in time.
