The Weekend of events at the Sorrel Horse are almost done. In fact just a quiet day today. On Friday it seemed like most of the Village packed in for the Mulled Wine Competition and Carols. The village accordion player (no names on this site) led, what appeared to be, the whole of the assembled … Continue reading Weekend Almost Done
A busy week at the Sorrel Horse. Today it is the mulled wine competition. Now I don't have the passion that descends on the populace at this time of year. I like my alcoholic drinks cold.

With the help of a mini digger they dug a trench around the Trust Hall which was filled with stone. That should keep the damp away.
