Saturday 13th June should be church fete day. This year it will undoubtedly be wall to wall sunshine all day but we will not be gathering in the vicarage garden. Instead, there will be various activities which will be appearing on this blog and on Facebook at various intervals. 


This is just a  taster for the not one but 
TWO PHOTO TREASURE TRAILS

One will be for Natland and one for Oxenholme. Whether you are in Natland or Oxenholme, whether you are taking your exercise on foot, by bicycle or on your horse or even if you are shielding at home you will be able to take part and their will be bottles of fizz as prizes!
The rules of the competitions are on this link. Entry is free; one entry per household. 
Keep looking here or on Facebook where you will be able to see some of the photos. The whole set will be available on Friday 5th June. 



Snail Race. 
Now our garden snails have woken up from their prolonged hibernation/dessication, it is hoped that there will be some candidates around for a snail race. Accommodation has already been organised. It's at no. 12 Longmeadow Lane, half way down the drive. Should you find an active snail which you would like to enter, then please bring him/her along. The course is not gruelling - they start in the centre and head (probably) for the edge of something circular. If you don't think you'll recognise your snail, please add a distinguishing feature to the shell and email me with a description or photo. There is a prize for the winning snail.            elspethjayne@gmail.com
