Food Waste?

I was away last week and came back to see the following headline in the local press. Calls to Bin Waste Storage Yard Plan. I cannot believe that it would even be thought of in other places near to Sleaford.

A Sleaford Green Thing? Do we have it?

I thought the attached 'joke' was worthy of a run. I received it from an ex-work friend who sends me stuff when he receives it from his mates around the world.

The Green Thing!

Bonner House is important to Sleaford

I was invited to Bonner House down Mareham Lane on Saturday afternoon. The weather was iffy with lots of showers. It was their Amenity Fund Summer Fete and was held jointly with the 3rd Sleaford St Deny's Scout Fund.

It was opened by 105 year old Nora Hardwick, a lovely lady, whose history goes back obviously to the early 1900's. She filled me in with a lot about life in that era and life from Swineshead, Rauceby and Sleaford.

Anyway I managed to win a coconut on one of the Scouts stalls. My throwing ability has not left me altogether.

The Deputy Mayor was there with the Kesteven Morris Dancers. Nice one Trev.

It is all tinged with sadness unfortunately due to the impending closure. I feel at times we have lost our sense of priorities: especially when you read the national news about how big international companies have come to dominate our lives.

Howard Webb Visits Sleaford

I was very pleased to be introduced to Howard Webb, the World Cup Referee, when he attended and opened the Sleaford Church Lane Primary School new nursery and garden. The kids really enjoyed it and the weather just about let us off the hook with only a few showers.

The theme was Alice in Wonderland and I willl never see the teachers in the same light again. There are lots of pics in the local presss. Thanks Howard and thanks to Helen Fulcher the head teacher.
