SHS Spring Show 2022

It may seem almost a distant memory now but this is our first opportunity to report on the Spring Show on 16th March. Against all expectations, there were, in fact, a “host of golden daffodils” not only on the show bench but cheering the village scene generally. We were back to the full schedule, with some lovely floral art, delicious cookery, wines (including a rather explosive bottle) and some stunning craft entries.

This year a Craft entry was the winner of “Best Exhibit in the Show” a Worry Monster from the special knitting section. After the show the Worry Monsters were donated, some to a primary school in Brighton with a high number of troubled children and one to a children’s hospital in Aberdeen where they are used to help in bereavement counselling.
