It’s never an easy decision to take, but I am ever the optimist and can’t imagine July without the Flower Show, so Saturday July 28th is the day. We have decided to make the Show even more accessible this year by simplifying some of the classes, with fewer veg needed and some delicious recipes to try. Everyone in the village has something to offer the Show – be it some creatively produced craftwork, an easy cake, biscuits, flowers and foliage for the kitchen table (everyone can do that one) or a few herbs. Flowers, fruit and vegetables feature proudly as well, and many more people are growing their own! You don’t need to grow to show, just enter something that is good at the time – you won’t need many, and you can take them home and eat them afterwards. Children love making things – any models, drawing or paintings from all ages are welcome. We have a lot of children in the village, and it’s the Bighton AND DISTRICT show, so get friends involved too. Everyone loves to see the white-clothed tables packed with colourful entries, including children’s favourite photographs. It’s not stuffy and formal, it’s fun and really satisfying to see the fruits of everyone’s imagination and skill laid out in the Village Hall on a July Saturday – it’s great to see tips being exchanged between entrants in the afternoon before going home to a special tea with home-made cakes. Do try to take part, as a village we don’t have many opportunities to gather together, so we look forward to seeing you there! Look for the schedule on the village website www.bighton.org.uk and through your door in June. Elaine Arnold, on behalf of the Flower and Produce Show organising committee. Terrana Fantastica Book I The Cypher Annulus by Geoff Buss A Medieval Fantasy suitable for ages from 16 to 90. Only available as an e-book now in the Kindle Store at Amazon First review posted said: “An easy-to-read book which lifted me from the doldrums of the day, with chivalrous knights and feats of derring-do. Well worth the money, and I'll keep an eye out for the next two books and download them too. As a little side note, the author has paid much attention to spelling and grammar. Something many books on Kindle lack..” Rated 5
