Garage Burglaries

| 1 Comment

There has been a recent increase in garage burglaries in the area and the aim of this update is to try and prevent any further incidents. Taking some simple security steps, such as locking your garage when you are not in it, or fitting extra locks, alarms or exterior lights will make it much more difficult for any potential thief.

If you would like to speak to an officer about home security then you can contact a member of the Bishopthorpe Safer Neighbourhood Team on the general North Yorkshire Police telephone number, 0845 60 60 247 or e-mail yorksnt@northyorkshire.pnn.police.uk.

This is a day not to be missed!  If you wish to buy your herbs and vegetables then pop in as we have plenty of all of these plus an interesting range of herbaceous perennials.

In the crafts workshop there will be opportunities to "have a go" on the loom, make a badge, pond dipping and other activities for children.  On sale will be Brunswick's unique pressed flower cards, wrapping paper, rugs and other woven and knitted items.   

Throughout the day we will hold a Tombola stall and the Raffle will be drawn on the day.  We will also have live music and Morris dancers!  You will also be able to view our displays and our current information about the work of the nursery and generally about organic growing. 

Our cafe will be serving delicious lunches and teas with lots of homemade cakes. 

It you can't make the Open Day or want to buy plants at any other time please note that Brunswick Organic Nursery and Craft workshop is open from 10.00a.m. until 5.00p.m. Seven Days a Week .

Vampires in Bishopthorpe!

| 1 Comment

With this genre all the rage at present some of you may have read in the The Press that our lovely village has now got in on the act as it features in the recently released novel 'The Radleys' by Fulford based author Matt Haig.

 

The story which is based in the village of 'Bishopthorpe,' (a hybrid of our village, Fulford and other villages,) is based around a family of vampires, you know the sort that keeps themselves to themselves. Luckily for the locals they are not practicing, that is until circumstances take a turn for the worse and they revert to type.

 

Even more exciting is the fact that apparently the film rights have been sold, so perhaps in future Hollywood will pay us a visit and we may see A listers at the Ebor.
