Apparently it’s good luck if you see the brush when the chimney is swept. Think that’s the first time in many years it’s been done.

Has anyone list this?

Good evening everyone, as you all know we are getting
Lots of help with the garden. It’s late in the planting season and we have no colour I’d like to brighten up the court yard for opening night if anyone has any plants pots or anything plants can be put in The Lion will happily find a new home for them. I know I’m being cheeky but if I don’t ask !!!

Garden phase 1. We would just like to say a big thank you to everyone who volunteered yesterday. You've all done so much and worked so hard. Phase 2 begins next Saturday

Afternoon neighbours, do we have an electrician in the village that could come and move some lights for us asap?

Good day fellow residents, firstly sorry for the lack of updates but as you can imagine things are quite busy here. We have a collection of paintings here at the Lion that are not required if anyone would like them please pop along anytime before Monday as we will be taking the to the charity shop.

Nothing is ever straight forward is it. We've pulled the carpet up this morning, and unfortunately the tiles are in such a mess. We've got no option but to buy some flooring to go over the top of the tiles. We've had a look at B&Q and it'll cost about £800 for everything needed. So if you know anywhere that we can get something cheaper could you please let us know. Thank you

Even our little one is helping to get the pub finished 🥰

We officially have 2 new working toilets 🥳🥳 The Ceilings in both toilets are finished, so tomorrow we start on the walls 😁 Pictures to follow this week

Starting to look at colour schemes is making us very excited. Keep your eyes peeled tomorrow for a look at how the pub currently looks.
