LAST Sunday's fundraising Bluebell Walk raised £466, to be shared between the church and the parish hall. The April showers deterred some of our regular supporters but we welcomed visitors from across the two counties and an enthusiast from Melbourne, Australia. All were appreciative of the beauty of the grounds at Bosbury House and once again we are indebted to nat and Laura Hone for their welcome. The afternoon tea with home-made cakes were enjoyed by all, a warm thank you to our willing bakers.
