Fantastic day

Author - Paul Thomas

​All set and ready at the Open Farm Sunday at Laceys Farm today. The sun shone and record numbers of visitors came to this fabulous event that had something for all members of the family and took great interest in the Lane End, Finings Wood Group project, our 'Jewel in the Crown' and latest developments towards the purchase of the woods to safeguard its future for the village to enjoy.
.
The Finings Wood north western boundary of trees towered high, overlooking the farmyard and event, so it was great to be able to wave our arms in its direction as the centre of attention.
.
Thanks go to everyone who came and took an interest and contributed with their pledges or donations.
Thankyou too, to those who volunteered their time and support handing out leaflets and keeping the dialogue going throughout the day. Zahir, Alastair, Ceri, Roger, Trevor, Anne and my wife Pauline Thomas for creating the green crown, that had everyone guessing which plants and trees from Finings Wood went into its making.
Every little bit really helps.
