Phew, it's over for this year - well done St Margaret's

Another Garden Safari weekend is over. As usual it was fun. You don't think it will be until it's happening, and then meeting lots of people, some new, some who've been round in previous years is great, The atmosphere in the village was buzzing, I always think that this event really pulls the community together. I'm sure the whole village agrees that Linda Winter and her fund raising committee deserves everybody's thanks for the great job they do. It will be interesting to see what the total raised is this year, it is what its all about after all, but it's great to have fun doing it.

This year Pam put on a display of some of her sculptures and other art work, and once again I found out how difficult it is to photograph a lot of mixed exhibits together, a lesson I've previously failed to learn. In real life it looked good and showed what a talented artist she is, and she's a great cook too!!

After we closed up I went for a mooch around just outside the village and came across a little covey of Grey Partridges, they are subtly beautiful birds and it's always good to get good views.

Pheasants on the other hand don't normally hang around and even if they're too idle to take off they disappear quickly into the undergrowth. I guess this comes from being shot at so much.
