There are some amazing wild orchids in the woods near Little Park Farm. They are only in bloom for a short period, and the weather over the winter has suited them this year.

If you head down in the early part of the morning in the sunshine they are particularly photogenic.

Easter Workshop – thanks!

A hugely successful Easter Workshop was held on Good Friday with lots of children attending with parents and grandparents. We had bird-box making, an Easter Trail, Easter basket making, Zentangle doodling, decorating the Easter garden and cookie decorating so thanks to all to helped out. It was a fantastic (and messy!) morning.

There are a few photos on our Facebook page…. www.facebook.com/Flowton.Suffolk

100 years, 100 treasures

100 years book
This is the book produced to commemorate the centenary of the founding of the Diocese of St. Edmundsbury and Ipswich. Each parish in Suffolk was asked what they most treasured in their own church and this is the result! There is a copy to view in each church and is a great colour guide to investigating unusual features in village churches around Suffolk. Battisford is our Benefice’s representative. It is a bargain at £5 (£2 of which goes to your own church) and copies can be bought from Margaret Laflin or ordered through your church.
