Today is National Poetry Day, so time to celebrate all things rapping, rhyming and the written word.

Good chimney sweeps are hard to come by and there’s been a couple of recent website queries about finding one.
Freda Crosbie is booking a chimney sweep from Edinburgh (possibly coming over on Fridaday). If you would also like your chimney swept, get in touch here and we will forward your details so she can arrange a multiple booking. Cost is £50.
Alternatively, if you can recommend another good, local chimney sweep please let us know their details and we will post a list on the website.

Garvald Runners …
Did you know that there is a group of runners who meet outside Garvald pub every Sunday morning at 8 am to go for a 30-40 minute run?We come in various shapes, sizes and levels of fitness. Since we started, several months ago, we have worked our way up from a walking/running start to nearly-all-running! We would love for more people to join us so are planning a social get-together in Garvald pub this Saturday night, 28th September, at 8 pm. Please join us if you’re at all interested (or even if you just fancy a night at the pub – that’s how we started!) Alternatively, meet us outside the pub on Sunday morning …Some of our group also run at other times throughout the week so you even if you can’t manage Sunday mornings you might be able to find a running partner for another time. Speak to Caroline McGregor for more information, or drop us a line. -
