Slaley news
A REMINDER that Jill Lumley will be at Blanchland Show on Bank Holiday Monday, and will be running a produce stall there in aid of Marie Curie Cancer Care. If you have anything to donate, please drop it off at her stall. The Blanchland Show is always a pleasure to visit, so do go along. I am hoping to catch the duck herding which I missed at Slaley. Thank you to those in the Shire who redirected me, a total of three times, as I was delivering a raffle prize from Slaley Show. It was a very pleasant drive out, although I am sure to still get lost there the next time.
