They buy directly from the farmers; they help their farmers to improve their coffee, some of it meeting Soil Association organic standards.

Well, what a fabulous night we had at our Village Variety Show. It was full of talent, laughter and fun. After supper had been served, the show opened with Phil Lee singing ‘Bring Him Home’ from Les Misérables for which he received a standing ovation. What a great start! Next came sketches, funny poems, monologues and more wonderful singing, finishing with Phil again, this time singing ‘Nessun Dorma' which was amazing.

This year's Blaston Show is fast approaching. It takes place on Sunday 29 June just outside the village of Slawston, near Market Harborough.

Paul Maslowski knew that he had found what he was looking for when, in1996, he saw a Chinese artist demonstrating Chinese painting and Calligraphy at the Leicester Chinese Community Centre. Following this, he began to study Chinese Brush Painting under instruction from the very best of practitioners in Leicester. Paul was enthused further about Chinese poetry and traditional culture. After years of serious study in Taiwan and China, he continues to study Calligraphy and Painting with Taiwanese, Chinese and European artists. His work has won him national and international recognition.
