Recent events Joy Mead Tea (July 15): Villagers gathered to celebrate Joy Agnew's birthday at our annual Tea. It was lovely to see lots of people there, young and old, enjoying delicious food and chatting, with the children busy creating new games on the lawn. Many thanks to everyone who came and cooked and helped and donated. Farthingstone Foot Festival (June 10): Another
great success for FFF! A total of 134 walkers and runners took part in
either the half or full marathon across our beautiful Northamptonshire
countryside. After a week of wind and rain, we were lucky with the weather
and it remained dull but dry.A fantastic total of £1400 was raised
for local charities. Well done everybody - and all the volunteers who
made it happen. Village Litter Pick (Feb 12): It was cold, it was windy and it was trying to sleet - so it was particularly heartening to see so many people turn out to do their bit to keep our Parish litter-free! Three children, two dogs and umpteen adults did a sterling job covering all the roads in the Parish and producing the usual astonishing array of junked items. Thanks everyone - and also to the cake bakers who made it all worthwhile with coffee and cake and chat afterwards in the Village Hall. 'Christmas in the Cloisters' (Dec 3): The
Cloisters sparkled under the fairy lights and candlelight. We were very
lucky with the weather and a good crowd braved the cold - fortified of
course by the excellent mulled wine. Santa arrived to a big fanfare and
the Band accompanied some lusty carol singing. A splendid evening of good
Christmas cheer!
