Boy got man of the match for his under 14s football team this weekend and I took a moody shot of a goalpost. We’re both happy. #FootballMum #Sunshine

The Plot Thickens … and it certainly did… a great night at Felton Village Hall last night, with Just Some Theatre and @highlightsrural.bsky.social #RuralTouring
On the left, a pull up banner with an illustration of a village hall, a logo saying Highlights Rural Touring Scheme and a sticker saying SOLD OUT. On the right, a noticeboard saying FELTON VILLAGE HALL and a number of different posters beneath. A dark room with an audience sat in front of a stage, with a women and man standing on the stage.
