Yes, I acknowledge that this is not a huge shock - Tesco isn't that far away - but coffee is at the heart of something valuable to our small village. I've mentioned our monthly coffee mornings, organised by the Parochial Church Council, and they have been at the core of building a social life in, and for, the village. However, thanks to Ros, something new was brought to my attention.
The Rural Coffee Caravan Information Project was launched as a means of reaching out to small, relatively isolated communities, providing information about services, or bringing people together. And yes, it is an actual caravan, although they tend to use indoor facilities outside of the summer months.
I was quite impressed, and so the question of a visit was raised at Parish Council a few months ago. And, thanks to our Clerk, the caravan came to call in December. The reports are that it was well received, and I would recommend it to any village in the county, especially if it hasn't visited before.
