I had a cracking afternoon at the Gunness Village Do on Saturday. I was asked to judge the cake competition although I had no prior experience of this and I wasnt sure whether you were supposed to do a taste test or not. In the end I dragged in one of the village kids to help and we concluded that the only fair way to judge was to try a slice of each of them!
The Village Do was organised by a dedicated committee led by Andrew Singleton and supported by local Councillor Rob Waltham. There was a really good atmosphere and everybody seemed to be having a great time. We were entertained by the Street Beat Dance Academy from Belton (pictured) who seemed to be able to move their bodies in ways that I thought impossible.
I always get such a warm welcome in Gunness and it was great to spend some time chatting to old friends in the village, including members of the local WI.
