The mounds of books, toys, gallimaufry and white elephants are growing to unstable heights. The plants are bursting out of their pots. The sweet smell of baking cakes is wafting through the village, and prizes for the raffle, children's games and the tombola are become ever more tempting.
As the dulcet strains of the Lune Valley Vintage Jazz Band drift on the wind on Saturday, do please come down and enjoy the music in the verdant Vicarage Garden, bring the family for games on the Village Green, spend money on the wide variety of tempting goods on offer and enjoy well earned refreshments in the Village Hall. If it's wet, then everything will be in the Village Hall.
Then, on Sunday, celebrations will continue as the Kendal Concert band will lead the music of the Summer Songs of Praise at 4pm on the Village Green.
