Lights Turn On

The countdown has begun to the lights turn on. As usual there will be a countdown to the big switch on a 5.00pm on Sunday 11 December 2005. Then members of the Road will be able to take part in a mobile party. Photos and reports tomorrow!

"Eve Green" -Bland!

This was the verdict of the Brockholme Road Bookclub when it met last night to discuss the novel by Susan Fletcher. The best review was a grudging "alright" but the consensus seemed to be "give that one a miss".

It was agreeed that the next Bookclub meeting would be on 13 January in Val's, (24 - house number not age!) and that the next book would be "My Sisters Keeper" by Jodi Picault. This was recommended by both Joy and Margaret for the future apportionment of blame!

It was also agreed that "The Great Gatsby" would be the book after next. So plenty to go for - happy reading !

Latest Addition to Brockholme Road

Louise and Dave brought Ben (11 Weeks) along to the Bonfire Night party. This was his first social event in the Road and he behaved impeccably. Mum and Ben both enjoyed themselves.

Ian and Joe are keen to get in to the photo'.

Bonfire Night 2005

Last night some of the neighbours got together at Rebecca and Alan's for a Bonfire night Party. Fire works were spectacular particularly the last one. Highlights of the night were gastronomical. Alan's pork was excellent and the crackling best ever, Kath's sticky toffee pudding was also a tremendous hit and the chillies were the usual excellent standard. Joy was much missed, her official representative, Colin, said she was sad about having to stay at home. Hope she is feeling better.

Joe Celebrates '40's!

Joe celebtrated his birthday in style with a fancy dress themed on the 1940's. The costumes were excellent 'specially Paul's.
