HELLO AGAIN FROM THE SHOP!
A LITTLE LIGHT MUSIC JANUARY 22nd 8pm till 10 30 pm.
The acoustic trio Empty Frets will be playing at the shop again, this time during the evening (and inside!) so why not help beat the January gloom and come along?
Sarah (ukulele) Steve, (ukulele, guitar, banjo) and Reg (bass) play a variety of songs from ballads to rock’n’roll from Fats Waller to Jesse J.
We would love to see you. Local shop goodies in a simple ploughman’s supper will be available to buy (if wished) and as there will be a chance to donate to local cancer charities it would be great if we could raise some monies for them as well as enjoy an evening of good music.
Please ask in the shop if you would like to know more.
See you soon,
Jan

Local History event in Lyndhurst
If you haven’t heard of Arthur Phillip who lived and farmed between Lyndhurst Park Hotel and Beechen Lane you will this year. He took First Fleet of convicts out to Australia and was the first European governor narrowly beating the French to claiming the land. Australia Day celebrates his arrival in what he named Sydney on January 26.
2014 is the bicentenary of his death and celebrations in England too from Westminster to Bath and New Forest. Come and find more about New Forest and Australia links.
