Bathford gets things done!
What a fantastic day we had to mark the official opening of the village shop! It was great to see so many people there – from more than 90 years down to 9 week-old twins. The occasion had a real sense of community celebration about it and quite right too. Don Foster got it just right when he said, ‘Bathford gets things done!’ Thank you, again, to all those who have ‘got such a marvellous thing done’ and for the wonderful garden party in the afternoon at Sycamore House which was terrific as well and raised a tremendous sum both for the running of the shop and for Hope and Homes for Children.
The following weekend there was a great sense of community celebration again as we marked St. Swithun’s Day with a village BBQ at Church Farm and an open air service on the green. It was great to see so many people at both these events enjoying such amazing weather together.
With best wishes,
Tim Ling
