    Calling all Cake-Lovers!!

    An enticing array of events is about to take place in Garvald ( and Gifford) ……

    on 24th May at 10 am a few volunteers are needed to help clear the Stables garden which has become extremely overgrown. Cake will be available for all helpers. The garden will then be a delightful venue for Ladies Suppers and for more tea and cake on 8th June – see below. If you can, please bring some secateurs or loppers.

    on 31st May at 11 am the inaugural coffee safari will take place. Everyone who fancies a catch-up and a chat, is invited to make their way up to Carfrae Farm on foot, by bike, by car and have a cup of coffee ( paid for by the Community Council) and any cakes that take your fancy up there. The cannoli are extremely good.

    on 7th June at 2pm the annual Lammermuir Parish Garden Party will be held in the Manse garden, Tweedale Ave., Gifford. Everyone is invited and there are a whole lot of fantastic activities as well as – you guessed it – cake!

    on 8th June at 3pm in Garvald Church, there will be a special Thanksgiving event to recognise the generosity of Linda Leith who bough the church from Church of Scotland. Restoration of the roof is due to start later in June and hopefully there will be many future celebrations there. On 8th June there will be  bit of history, a bit of singing, a blessing, a special appearance by OFF-GRID ( who were sensational in the pub last week) and afterwards in the Stables Garden MORE CAKE.

    Friday 9th May is Film Club Night, and this month the film is “The Room Next Door”. This is the first English language film by  Pedro Almodovar, with Tilda Swinton and Julianne Moore as the main characters –  sounds tasty?. Curry available at The Lanterne Rouge beforehand.

    Now that we are starting to get that summer feeling, what better way to get in the groove than with some laid-back jazz in the Village Hall. A great way to raise some funds for the hall.

        This Friday, 11th April, the film to be shown at Gifford Film Club is Honeyland – from Macedonia. It tells the story of one of the last wild beekeepers in Europe whose traditional way of life centred on collecting honey from wild bees, is disturbed by the arrival of a noisy and rambunctious family. A delicious pre-film supper is available at the Lanterne Rouge if you want to make a night of it.
