We meet at the Rectory later today to trouble shoot any problems before tomorrow’s tea party. The weather, I’m told will be glorious, so we have conscripted more gazebos for shade traps and the band has kindly requested ice cold beers instead of any monetary payment which is kind.
For most of the villagers Pippa and Tom seemed to have lived in Trelawnyd forever.
The house is the biggest in the village and has the most impressive grounds as well as an adjoining Glebe, which has housed ponies, alpacas and sheep over the years.
The Rectory also had fields in front of it, on which the rector kept cattle and Auntie Glad grazed sheep, but these now house the bungalows of Rhodfa Arthur, where Merv Price keeps his pigeons and Anne Hindle keeps her eye on the church she regularly worshipped at.
I’ll share more after the meeting …….
Giving me a Miss Marple/ Midsummer Murders vibe. Hopefully there won't be any fatalities, just sunshine, good times and lots of money for the TCA. Enjoy! xx
ReplyDeleteIt sounds idyllic. And glebe is another new word for me.
ReplyDeleteTrouble shooting and sorting problems before they happen is a great idea. From past experience, make sure you have plenty of paper napkins and enough teaspoons to go round. Oh, and some artificial sweeteners for people who don't take sugar.
ReplyDeleteStay cool - and good luck!
Sounds like a wonderful way to spend a summer day!
ReplyDeleteWishing you a great turnout and have fun. Gigi
ReplyDeleteWe will be there in spirit, if not in person. Village life makes me smile.
ReplyDeleteWow! You are really coming up in the world - a special meeting at The Rectory! Who would have thunk it?
ReplyDeleteTea at The Rectory! Sounds very elegant! Here's an idea for next year -- make it a Vicars 'n Tarts tea and have everyone come dressed accordingly!
ReplyDeleteIt all sounds so lovely, especially the band being asked to be paid in beer!!
ReplyDeleteAnd now I know the word "glebe." I will try to find a way to work it into my repertoire!
Best wished for a glorious day!
ReplyDeleteTea in the garden on a nice sunny day with gazebos for shade sounds lovely. The event is coming together very well. Kudos to all the people organizing and hosting the event.
ReplyDeleteGlad you will have good weather. Enjoy the day!
ReplyDeleteTrelawnyd's history is always interesting and so sweet. Thank you for including glimpses of the past in your post today and am extra glad that Pippa and Tom are lovely folks who have blended seamlessly into the community.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful to have a forecast for beautiful weather for tomorrow!
Enjoy!
Hugs!
Requesting a picture of the cakes table for vicarious attendees. It does sound very "early Midsommer Murders" - the kind of thing Joyce Barnaby would volunteer at. Will there be a Trombola?
