On Wednesday evening we had a Parochial Church Council meeting. To my enormous relief, we decided that we should rewire the chuch, if the actual quotes are anywhere near the ballpark figure. We will launch an appeal at the end of August and hope to raise the money, to replace that taken from the 'vaults'. That is, we have enough money, or nearly, in a fabric fund, but must replace it if we use it.
As a result of this need to raise money, and because the WI are going to have to raise much more money to build the Hut, I have offered to have a Garden Fete here on September 6th, dividing the proceeds between the Church and the WI. The garden will be far from its best but I hope it will be presentable. July is too soon and too much going on, and August is a restful month. By doing a joint event, there will be more people to help and a wider range of people who might come. And I will be supporting both the things that I feel I must support. So, it must be good!
In the garden - the runner beans are planted as are the courgettes. As we have had rain, both are growing as you look at them. Also I am weeding like mad. If we are to have this garden fete, then I must keep up with all of that.
This picture was taken before the runner beans and courgettes were planted. they are beyond the green cover over the carrots.And tonight, the lovely G took our mower up to the church and cut the path up to it, as we have a service on Sunday and our helper is on holiday. He came in exhausted bless him.

That is good news about the re-wiring. I hope it doesn't cost so much that no other jobs will get done. Your garden will be perfect for the fete because you have the offered your wonderful generosity. I'm sure, one way or another, your kindness will be rewarded.

Thank you CJ. It is a long way down, but Sat 6th Sept is the date and the time will be the afternoon. You could just possibly make it!!! Will give further info later on.
