Volunteers at the mill, ably assisted by staff from the SPAB who own the mill, had an enjoyable morning getting into the festive spirit whilst affixing colourful new Christmas lights to the sails.

Thank you to everyone who joined us on Saturday 16 November for our Tree Planting Day. We successfully planted just over 500 hedge whips and saplings. It was fantastic to have so many members of the community join us to take part! Lots of young people took part too, digging holes, planting saplings and installing the guards and spirals. The team at TLR Garden maintenance are completing our biodiversity project and helped us organise this community day, bringing along lots of equipment so the community could take part.

Last weekend we experienced Storm Darragh - it’s the fourth storm since 1 September when this new season began.

Well, Christmas has certainly now arrived in Smeeton! How lovely to see the decorations starting to be put up both in and outside of the houses. It certainly brings Christmas cheer to the village.
