tonys logo 9 February 2021 - Spud in a tub and carvery on a Sunday

Hello,

I have been reminded that although the Village Vegetable Show had to be cancelled last year Hilary, Shirley and Sue organised a socially distanced spud in a tub competition in the Mission Hall car park This was great fun and was won by Duncan Sleightholme with 36.95oz of potatoes . And before you ask, yes, the 0.05oz  is important. In the hope that at least the same can be held this year, I am further reminded (because I am no gardener, just a gardener’s labourer) that now is the time to be planting your seed potato in a suitable tub. This gives you a chance to knock Duncan off his pedestal and become the proud holder of the Des Evans ‘Spud-in-a-tub’ trophy. This will ensure you the same year of fame and fortune that Duncan has enjoyed.  Good luck.

Karen tells me that the Springhead Sunday carvery is available with free delivery to Sutton Poyntz and the close surrounding areas every Sunday. They are also laying on a Valentines breakfast treat if, as she says, you fancy treating your partner. Or as I would say, need the brownie points. Full details on their website or by ringing 832117

Last but not least, thank you to those who responded with news of what you are doing to combat the lockdown blues. A selection of these will appear in a later Newsbite.

Stay safe and smiling

Chris
