What we thought: Unanimous agreement that this book is a wonderful read. We gave it one of the highest scores amongst our club reads to date. Very funny, clever and a great escape to the country - even deeper and darker than here in West Devon!  The next meetings of the Burrow Book Club are Wednesday 23rd October at 8.00 pm and Thursday, 17th October at 2.30 pm. We are reading Cold Comfort Farm by Stella Gibbons.
This book was winner of the 1933 Femina Vie Heureuse Price, and is a wickedly funny portrait of British rural life in the 1930s. Flora Poste, a recently orphaned socialite, moves in with her country relatives, the gloomy Starkadders of Cold Comfort Farm, and becomes enmeshed in a web of violent emotions, despair and scheming, until Flora manages to set things right. New members are always welcome to join our friendly group. Evening session £2 includes a glass of wine. More info from Claire or Lucy at The Burrow or Jane Stewart (T: 01837 851300) Come down to The Burrow and carve your name in a Pumpkin for Halloween and then, if your nerves can take it, join us for a Spooky Candlelit dinner!
Join us carving pumpkins between 4pm and 6pm on Wednesday 30th October. The cost is £5 per participant (supervising adults are free). We supply the pumpkin! What will you carve? Your name? A Halloween face? A castle? All under 8s must be accompanied by an adult. Please come in costume if the fancy takes you! Then Optional Spooky Candlelit supper of Bangers and Mash at 6.30 pm. Tickets £5 All are welcome to supper too. Come in your spookiest costume if you fancy. Be prepared to eat well, be frightened and laugh! |

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. Archives
