A huge thank you to everyone who has worked so hard in the petalling tents this week – regulars, first-timers and visitors. It’s been really nice to have children from the village and people’s grandchildren working on the children’s well. Also, a big thank you to those who did the heavy work getting things set up last night – it was good to have such a large team to get it done quicker. And a very special thank you to Dave and Joy for their wonderful designs. It’s been good to see so many people around this week – it has felt like a real community effort. Here’s to a great week – see you at 3.00pm today for the opening.
