My son's on the telly!


Well only very briefly (and in the background) but he's definitely there!

We've finally seen the results of all those long days he spent filming at Quarry Bank and Tatton Park!  New gripping drama from Channel 4 - The Mill.

Incredible Edible at Rawtenstall Annual Fair





Manning the Incredible Edible Rossendale Stall at the Rawtenstall Annual Fair last weekend - great day - a little warm though!







We have fruit trees and strawberries in a walled garden in the town square - we were also selling fruit cordial made from berries harvested from our showpiece plot in Whitaker Park which is looking fabulous at the moment - pop up there and have a look.

 


We have recently been working in collaboration with Civic Pride to bring back to life the herb circle in the centre of the town square - new planters and lots of herbs and veg are now looking splendid.  I volunteer with both Civic Pride and Incredible Edible and so it is really nice to have the two groups working together to help improve the community public space in the old valley centre.
