Book Club voting echoes Strictly Come Dancing

26/9/2013

Martin 10! Brady 10! Antoniazzi 10!
This is how the marks went for our current month's chosen book, Wolf Hall by Hilary Mantel.
Mind you, this is only half the story....

The evening group raved about the book and gave top marks to it for being a gripping read and historically fascinating.

The afternoon group were split with half the group finding it very confusing and frustrating, especially when read on a Kindle which is not good for quick revision of the plot. Two members really enjoyed it but the average score from them averaged 4.25.
The evening group, bolstered by a glass of wine gave a unanimous 10/10. The conversation then moved on to Facebooking, Twitter and Saga holidays!

So mixed opinions and wide-ranging conversation. Come and join us next month?

In Memory of Hugh

Burrow supporters kindly donated a pomegranate tree which has been planted in memory of Hugh Hordern.  The tree, 'Pomegranate Wonderful', was planted in the front flower bed at The Burrow and a brass plaque, commemorating Hugh, was fitted to the front wall.  Hugh's tireless support of The Burrow project contributed to our success in building a community shop which provides local and unusual produce in an unusual setting!

Flying Saucer Lands on The Burrow!

It has been reported that a flying saucer has landed on the Burrow!  Thanks to our imaginative architect, Steve Blakeman and EARP Engineering, 
with some help from Mark Hedges, we now have a canopy over part of the courtyard at The Burrow.  With many thanks to Local Food, part of the Big Lottery, who made this possible by giving us a grant.  We will now be able to display locally produced vegetables and fruit, come rain or sunshine, and know that everything is protected by the canopy.   Come and have a look!

We also hope to have some outdoor tables and seating for sunny days once we have the funds available to purchase some.

    In December 2001 the village shop and post office in Exbourne with Jacobstowe in rural West Devon closed. This meant that villagers would have to make a journey of at least 5 miles each way to reach the nearest town for shops and services. Now after 10 years of hard work and fund raising the village has its own shop and cafe and its underground.
    Welcome to The Burrow!
