Hollinswood honoured visitors and residents by hosting a vibrant summer celebration brimmed with jubilation on Sunday.

The Produce and Craft show boasted floral and art exhibits of exceptional high standard.

On the green sounds of music and laughter mingled with delighted shouts of children and adults enjoying the spellbinding entertainment and displays. The hot midsummer sun worked its magic drawing in the crowds and quickly melting ice creams. Floral head dresses with flowing rainbow ribbons adorned maidens heads and the Town Crier was in exceptional good voice.

Thank you to Katrina Baker and the dedicated team who contributed to this all-inclusive community event and especially for inviting us to share it.

Golden sunbeams lifted spirits of visitors to Hadley Fun Day on Sunday. All the traditions of a village green summer festival where shared and celebrated as revellers flocked to join in the unity that has become a central focus for this delightful Telford town.

All attractions were free and so much appreciated judging by the squeals of excitement heard throughout the afternoon as families and friends enjoyed, getting lost in the maze, trying their skill at rodeo, the circus skills tent encouraged would be artists, hook a duck, smash a crock, line dancing demonstrations and wild birds of prey display were amongst the array of entertainments available.

Charitable organisations plied their wares and the Hadley community responded generously, everyone benefited, a perfect way to spend a sunny Sunday afternoon.

Telford really does have everything.

Wellington was transported back in time to its medieval past on this warm sunny Saturday thanks toRob Francis and his dedicated team. Thousands of visitors enjoyed the sights sounds and smells of Wellington at its best, organic foods tempted pallets, fire eaters awed crowds packed into Wellington square, pantomime dames balanced on stilts, a lady talked animatedly about the dark days of WW2 blitz, there was an adventure awaiting around every corner.

The medieval pageant a tribute to bygone days has become an integral part of the Fayre it presented a sombre yet dazzling vision; soldiers clad in scarlet tunics, muskets primed; cheery maidens escorted by their admirers walked through the town bowing, waving and nodding acknowledgment to onlookers.
Morris dancing, brass bands; and a cool sanctuary for those seeking some respite from the heat of the day or quiet reflection was available in the church along with teas and home made cakes.

DBHS members Vic, Benita, Helene, Melanie, John, Christopher and Carol were kept busy running the crockery smash, tombola and making floral chaplets. Brilliant day well done Wellington.

This idea emanated from a combined initiative of Stirchley & Brookside Parish Council and Stirchley Library. The objective was to promote the health benefits of home grown produce whilst showing that gardening and composting does not have to be a complex science, a basic knowledge of the process of photosynthesis and chlorophyll is all that is required and maybe a few nuggets of age old wisdom handed down from granddad.
Experts handed out free equipment and advice, free planting pots were available along with expert planting advice, the different stages of composting vegetation were simply explained, fruit, vegetable and flower plugs were given to visitors.

Young people enjoyed free face painting, clay modelling and a wood craft demonstration by The Small Woods Association.

DBHS made floral willow chaplets decorated with flowing rainbow ribbons proved very popular with young and not so young.

It was a very busy morning and extremely well supported by local primary schools families and residents. The cups of tea were very welcome amidst the scents of herbs organic foods and warm friendly atmosphere.
