Day 64 of (un?) Lockdown
Day 64 seems to be full of controversy but not much news. Here is what little we have, news relating to the allotments first and then a couple of health-related items from ECC. As ever, some light relief at the end.
Spare Plants & Produce
Whilst COVID-19 has prevented the Allotments’ Charity Stall opening it is still possible to obtain surplus produce & plants. A neighbour of the allotments on New Church Road is happy for their driveway to be used for plot holders to deposit their surplus and for villagers to take what they need.
If you know where the charity stall is then you will find the driveway opposite. No money is being taken although you are encouraged to make a donation once the charity stall reopens.
