Snowdrops in Irnham Spring flowers 2

The aconites and snowdrops in the garden of the Manor House are looking glorious as are the show of snowdrops in the churchyard. 
Around the village there are the first few daffodils appearing and those who live in Irnham will know these were planted with funds from the Parish council over the last few years and the help from villagers and parish councillors. 
As well as daffodils there are the first signs of primroses flowering, now we know spring is on its way.
 
 

New Project for Irnham Church Church wall

Yes we have another new project for 2025 
This is to rebuild a section of the boundary wall which has collapsed owing to the proximity of a large sycamore tree.
This tree has now been felled in 2024 owing to safety concerns and damage to the wall,  should not effect the wall again after the repairs have been completed.
 
 

Griffin Inn – New Chefs 

There have been good reports about the new chefs at the Griffin Inn.  
It is encouraging to see how popular the pub is at the weekends and on a Friday evening when local farmers, folk from the village and others get together.  
Hopefully as the weather improves there will be more people enjoying walks around the area and using the pub during the week.
 
I would suggest checking opening times before an impromptu visit.
 
 

Roadside collection of recyclable waste Waste

Disturbing to see a photo of 2/3 weeks of recyclable waste only collected off roadside verges, mainly Irnham/Corby and Irnham/Swinstead to A151.  
How do we start to encourage/educate people to use their bins at home!   
Please note general waste wasn’t documented but I am sure there was plenty to collect as well.
