2024 ...... .......
.......with significant rainfall in January ...... and the stream running very high -more a small river- we had to delay that special event in Combroke:
the Duck Race was transferred to Easter 2024 ......... and some more heavy rains in early summer...... all was looking a bit wet ......
....but then... the sun has been shining !
And as the August Bank holiday approached ..... ssh.... Combroke was practising its scarecrows....
So....coming up next: Harvest...... and that big event with apples ......
.... the mid August songs.. .......
....and the last ....... over the lane.......
As the sun began to shine...... it was decided to cut the Leys a little earlier
all done by the end of June .....thanks !
