2:00 pm to 4:00 pm

Gary and Karen would like to issue an open invitation to join them for tea in the Vicarage gardens on June 27th from 2-4pm. There will be plenty of room and activities for children, but they’d be glad of offers of extra fold-up garden chairs and gazebos, please.

They can guarantee the scones and strawberries; they’ll do their very best about the sun!
