GET IT OFF YOUR CHEST DAY - Are you a ‘grumpy old person’ (man is sexist)? Are you called a ‘miserable old git’ – when you visit friends?, Does the conversation always turn to a moan about something?. Then come and join us on Friday June 7th from 10.30 til 12 at Orchard Cottage in the High Street (opp. 32a) for the first ‘COFFEE MOAN-IN’ and moan about whatever you like – Brexit, the wife/husband/partner, the council, holes in the road, the weather or anything else which probably puts your blood pressure up. If you just happen to enjoy this time of tea/coffee and a good old moan, a donation would be appreciated going towards retinal cancer in children BUT there is no obligation. Come and enjoy – As Chris says moaning keeps him happy .You just might go away with a smile and this could become regular! Chris and Dee 01327 811487
