Earlier this month a group of people joined Sarah, from Compton Garden Flowers, to make a wreath for their front door.
As you will see from the photo they all produced fantastic results.
Thank you to Sarah for putting on such a lovely workshop.

We had a lovely day on Saturday at Craft Day with 20 for lunch and a few visitors. Bobbin lace making, knitting, crochet, applique/patchwork, wool spinning, making hearts for Valentine’s Day with Jenny, Eileen’s amazing felt creations, some jewellery making and an afternoon of Dorset button making to finish off Caroline’s handknitted cardigan.
We made a small profit which will go towards the rent for the next day: Monday 12th February during half term and then any profits to the Community Association.
Children welcome so long as they are supervised: £4.00 for children, £6.00 for adults, includes lunch of homemade soup, homemade bread, cheese, fruit and suitable dietary alternatives. Cake, of course, and lots of company while you either do your own craft or try each other’s. Contact Harriette Dottridge

Whilst walking our dog today we met an amateur mycologist in one of the village fields who told us that he had found 43 different varieties of fungi during a couple of hours walking in the valley. It is amazing to learn things like this. I know that I occasionally see fungi on my walks, but was fascinated to discover that there were so many more. We just have to look a bit harder.

The village quiz, held on Sat 7th Nov, was an all round success. We eventually had eight teams, ranging from a small, but determined group of 3, to several full houses of 6.
The evening got off to an appetite tempting start with a round on Food & Drink, which left the organisers table with only 1 point!
Other rounds included Sport, Religion, General Knowledge, Pop Music, Literature, Film, and finishing off with Geography. We also had a Bird Picture round and some challenging Dingbats to add to the fun.
The evening was billed as a fun event, without the need to turn a profit, but, largely due to Alice’s raffle [a must at any Compton event] we made a profit of £150.
