May

At last we can celebrate spring! We have all seen some welcome warmer weather over the past couple of weeks. The gardeners amongst you must be delighted with the sunshine, as gardens have been bursting into life with long awaited colour. Just in time for not one, but two, long bank holiday weekends for us all to enjoy this coming month, so weather permitting, BBQ's at the ready!

May in the village also holds a welcome date for all local gardeners with the Christchurch Village 'Gardening Club's Annual Plant Sale' on the 18th at the Memorial Hall, a excellent chance to stock up on local plants at excellent prices, and meet up with friends for a natter and a browse.

Also this month many will be preparing for the Christchurch Flower and Craft Festival the second weekend of June, which was a huge success last year raising much needed funds for our local church. Make sure you pop along and support this years entries, and if you miss them don't forget you can always see the photo's on our website www.theheron.info

Don't forget to send us your views and pictures of village life to editor@theheron.info
