The Bat Group will be coming to do the annual count of our Natterers Bat Roost in the Church tower, this Friday 26th June

The bats start flying about 9.45pm

If you would like to join the group in the churchyard you are welcome’

If you have a canvas chair it is a good idea and cover up and have mosquito repellent!

The group have special sensors to pick up the bats flight as they go to catch insects to feed their young.

That’s it, nothing more to say than that, but what a marvellous thing to say! Our farm reared grass fed Belted Galloway will be with us tomorrow Thursday 18/06/26 so do not miss out as the last batch absolutley flew out. So it is not just pigs that can fly it seems. Lots of different cuts for every type of meal and weather as it seems we are having lots of seasons in a single day lately…

So so much more in the shop to tantalise too such as sauces, pizzas, kitchen cupboard essentials, eggs, fish, icecream, drinks, pork, cheese, dairy, snacks, charcoal, cakes, sweets, chocolates, treats and soooooooo much more! Oohh, we even have some frozen cookie packs. You just pop the frozen cookie on a tray, pop in the oven for a few minutes and then hot gooey naughty cookies!

Whatever you do, wheverever you are, have a wonderful week.

Yare Valley Team. NR14 7GD, Mill Road, Surligham. Open 8am-9pm Every day including bank holidays and weekends. xx
