Celebrating #NationalPoetryDay (slightly late) and

Celebrating #NationalPoetryDay (slightly late) and Mrs Smith's apple tree with this poem by Laurie Lee.⁠
⁠
Behold the apples’ rounded worlds:⁠
juice-green of July rain,⁠
the black polestar of flowers, the rind⁠
mapped with its crimson stain.⁠
⁠
The russet, crab and cottage red⁠
burn to the sun’s hot brass,⁠
then drop like sweat from every branch⁠
and bubble in the grass.⁠
⁠
They lie as wanton as they fall,⁠
and where they fall and break,⁠
the stallion clamps his crunching jaws,⁠
the starling stabs his beak.⁠
⁠
In each plump gourd the cidery bite⁠
of boys’ teeth tears the skin;⁠
the waltzing wasp consumes his share,⁠
the bent worm enters in.⁠
⁠
I, with as easy hunger, take⁠
entire my season’s dole;⁠
welcome the ripe, the sweet, the sour,⁠
the hollow and the whole.⁠

@jarvisnicki, our #ArtistInResidence, recently added the finishing touches to our community Rag Rug. Carefully sewing together sections completed by people from the local area. The materials used for the rug were scraps of fabric which would otherwise have gone to waste. We think they have a beautiful second life.⁠
It is now on display in Mrs Smith's spare bedroom. ⁠
Can you spot your section?⁠
⁠
There are a small number of craft packs still available, if you want to have a go! Any returned squares will be used in our out reach programme, for schools, care homes, and community groups.⁠
