My first village shop opening!

My first village show opening! It was fun to declare the Cornworthy & Ashprington Village Show open this afternoon and see some of the spectacular flowers and produce that residents had presented. There are clearly some serious gardeners here!


Gorgeous flowers - dahlias and roses and sweet peas. Impressive vegetables and of course the brilliant children’s categories - pizza faces and painted pebbles.


Memories of the first village show I went to 17 years ago when I arrived here from London and was quite taken aback at how seriously people took it! But I did win a prize for my marmalade the following year. Not sure there will be much time for that over the next few years Also great to see the newly upgraded village hall, complete with heaters and fire doors. Well done to the village for raising 80% of the money.


The rest came from ACRE. These halls are such a vital part of community life, particularly in rural areas. And I will always support their survival.
