"On Easter Sunday (12 April) at 4pm, we are having a Village Cream Tea, when we all sit down together (in our own homes) and have tea together. You can take a photo to post on Facebook, send a photo to a friend, phone someone or do something cleverer with technology that I can’t do, but it will be a way of keeping us together and ensuring we don’t feel alone. We are definitely all in this together!
"I’m hoping St Dubricius will ring The Bell at 4pm (pity we can’t have a whole chime, but we’re delighted with anything) and Town Crier, Grant Dennis will deliver a special Easter Day Town Crier’s cry, and then we can listen to Jack Buchanan's 1935 recording of ''Everything Stops For Tea". (download, or play below...)
"You can make your own tea or for a treat, Kitnors will deliver a Cream Tea (free delivery) for just £5, with two large scones, jam, cream and a teabag. (Make sure you phone well in advance (01643 862643). You might also like to order one for a surprise for a friend you currently can’t meet up with. They do vegan, gluten free and even vegan/gluten-free teas.
"We are SO LUCKY to live here, most of us have a home (and not just a room in a high rise flat), many have a garden and we’re all surrounded by wonderful people. WE WILL GET THROUGH THIS – but united we’ll get through a little better."
