Two events, one this Sunday, one a week on Sunday

Peace Garden opened
The triangle of land between Granville Road and Stapleton Hall Road N4 is to become a Parish Peace Garden. The official opening will take place on Sunday 27 March when an information board will be installed in the replanted green space telling the story of what happened on Sunday 16 July 1944 and afterwards in Granville Road.


The ceremony will include singing by St Aidan’s Primary School and a contribution from Bruce Kent, a local resident well known for his active campaigning for Nuclear Disarmament (CND). Refreshments are afterwards in Holy Trinity Parish Hall, Granville Road.

I will pass by both, they are just across from me

Does the cake have to be home made ?

Just baked the most moist and delectable brownies (aren't I modest?) for the fund raiser - most looking forward to it! Hope to see a lot of you there.

Went past the Peace Garden on Saturday - it would appear to be exactly the same as it always was except for the addition of an unnecessarily obtrusive sign. Surely a smaller, lower sign could have shared the same information without being so deleterious to the quiet charm of the garden?

Complaining about the size of a sign in a peace garden is proper, "disgusted of Tunbridge Wells" curmudgeonliness, with extra points for use of the word 'deleterious'.

Arkady

The sign is a tad garish, though very informative.

ADGS

It was a choice between this and being baffled at the wording of the Morefit ad on SGR, but the latter only replaced that odd picture of the madwoman, whereas I did find the garden in question delightfully peaceful before it became a designated Peace Garden, which unhappy irony meant it was this one that got the benefit of my virtual green ink.

I like the sign. I spent far too long reading it and looking at the pictures then trying to work out what was where.
