Egg-cellent Adventures!

The Easter Bunny left an egg-citing nature trail around Nightingale Valley over the Easter holidays. Posters of different types of eggs laid by a variety of animals that call the valley their home were hidden around the footpath, and we hope that interesting facts were learnt by all.

Who knew that stickleback fish make nests in the brook with the male fish defending them until the babies hatch? With great thanks once again to the team at Family Shopper corner shop who gave out puzzle sheets and prizes, you truly are community treasures!

We’ve called it the ‘Secret Garden’: firstly, because it is in such a beautiful, tranquil setting and, secondly, because no one seems to know where The Rock allotments are!  It’s just off Allison Road, by the way.  Our intention is to…

The vision is to carefully open up the space (as it was some years ago) making it safer and more welcoming for people. Along the way we’re hoping to find…
