LIFE
It’s all about being local...
From Farmers’ Market to brick makers and hedgehogs to beavers!
Can you believe that the wonderful Thrapston Farmers’ Market has been running for over nine years? Every month it showcases a fabulous variety of locally produced goods as well as delicious things from further afield. Charlotte Croser from Jollys Toys gives us the lowdown on the people behind it and where the money it raises goes (page 6).
In a spooky Glance at the Past this month Eric Franklin recounts the tale of the skeleton in the loft (page 26).
Are you busy on the 7th October? Why not pop along to The Plaza and fill a shoebox that
will bring joy to a child in need (page 10). Autumn days are upon us, it’s time to get out into the garden and enjoy the beautiful colours. Don’t forget that your lawn needs love too, why
not take advice from the experts at The Barn Garden Centre and feed it before the winter sets in (page 17).
And when you come in from a day in the garden, what could be more satisfying than a piping hot bowl of pork and butternut squash casserole (page 34).
