Surlingham

I would like to put together a display of butterflies to be showcased in the church alongside the flower display to mark the King’s coronation. It would be lovely if this could be a could be a community endeavour.

Any crafted butterfly: knitted, crocheted, origami, sewn, sculpted with modelling junk, drawn on paper and cut out would be welcome; the more the merrier.

You can drop your creations off at Mayfield, Ferry Road or in the church porch. I’m hoping to get so many that it will take me a week to put the display together so I’ll need them by 30th April. That’s just four weeks away so we’d better get cracking.

In addition to the butterflies and beautiful flower displays, there will also be a reprise of the knitted street party with a few extra additions and (fingers crossed) refreshments served on Sunday 7th May.

Let’s get the church looking really spectacular!

Hello lovely people! Easter is just round the corner so we have been preparing it with love as usual!

Apart from a great selection of cakes available, many will ask if we will do our Winter Warmer over that period and the answer is: obviously! Along this we will also have roast dinner on Easter Sunday (booking only – either to have in or take away).

As it’s already usual we have a temporary license to sell our Portuguese wine (red and vinho verde), morello cherry brandy and port. So if you fancy something please let us know. This will be available from Tuesday until Easter Monday.

Yare Valley farm shop will have belted Galloway beef from this Friday.

Thank you all for your custom & kind words.

Good afternoon all your wonderful people you.

So it is now officially Spring…apparently…

Try telling that to the sleet and cold. But hey.., fast forward to August and I will be moaning about how overwhelmingly hot it is. Joys of versatility.

We do have something rather exciting for you beef lovers out there. Coming in this Friday the 31st March we have Belted Galloway beef arriving in the shop. Like all our other breeds of cow they are all reared here on the farm. However, the belted Galloway is rare breed and grass fed for an incredible flavour, so it is a must not miss for those looking for a perfect cut of beef. There will be a large array of cuts and sizes for you to choose from.

On Thursday 30th March the Fish Van will be here 1:30pm until 3pm and Alec will be ready with all his tasty fish for your culinary creations.

Teles Patisserie are doing their thing as per with special offers, hot and cold drinks, sweet and savoury treats and are a perfect stop on your travels.

The Shop has just had delivery of a wide range of calzones, more pizzas, eggs will be with us Friday, milk (we have just started stocking strawberry milk as well as the usual chocolate), ice cream, oils, veg, frozen goodies, cakes, crisps, chocolates, rhubarb, kitchen cupboard essentials, Easter treats and much much more. As per we are open 8am until 9pm every single day, weekend, Bank Holiday and come rain or shine.

As ever may we thank you for your continued custom. We hope to see you soon.

Here’s a ‘joke’ for you:

Two muffins were sitting in an oven.

One turned to the other and said, “Wow, it’s pretty hot in here.” The other one shouted, “Wow, a talking muffin!”

Big waves and smiles from everyone at Yare Valley 🙂

Please see attached the minutes for the Parish Council meeting held on Tuesday 14th March 2023.
