In the heart of beautiful Northamptonshire

More progress was made around the parish by a small team of volunteers on Friday 12 June. This included:
– Cutting back shrubbery and over-long verge growth around two ‘sharp-turn’ warning chevrons on Sywell Road. Both signs are now clearly visible, as are their lines of sight. (No nesting birds or wildlife affected by this action.)
– Digging out – and disposing of – copious amounts of earth and debris from drains and rain-water grills on Main Street (think The Great Escape tunnellers…)
– Initial work around the bench on Brixworth Road (heading towards the reservoir). This is a work-in-progress which will be continued in a fortnight.
Added to this, during previous weeks, teams of the FoH have:
– Cleaned and renovated three wooden benches
– Swept and tidied up along the jitty and the bottom end of Main Street around The White Swan
– Tidied up the Washbrook and around the lime tree at the bottom of Poplars Lane
– Cut away ivy and other weeds around the Green
– Mended the basketball hoop net and cleaned the playing area (another work-in-progress).
A big shout-out to all the volunteers who give so willingly of their time!
Wander over to Elliotts’ Farm on Monday 15 June and enjoy great company and some truly scrumptious fare.
Available between 6.00pm and 9.30pm there’ll be a tantalising choice of goodies including:
– home-made cakes
– barista coffee
– soup
– hot dogs
– local beer and summer punch
– loads of free parking
– a child- and dog-friendly environment
– and, if you’re lucky, a beautiful sunset to round off your day!
Brew is housed in a beautifully converted 1960s’ caravan based at Elliotts’ Farm which is just a 20-minute walk across the fields. So what are you waiting for!? (And if you don’t fancy that, you can always get Parker to drop you off in the Bentley…)
