On a cold and sleety morning four parish councillors (Nicky Holyoake, Jim Gray, Nick Harding and Pauline Ridley) met up at the triangle at the top of The Street to strim the grass and plant a selection of spring bulbs. We will be carrying out more work over the next few months and adding more planting to improve the appearance of the triangle.

Brightling Village Hall
This the last Brightling Cafe of the year. Expect a seasonal flavour with stalls run by local artists and makers offering paintings and cards, pom-poms, gift tags and paper crafts and woven willow bird feeders and wreaths for those special gifts you have been looking for.
There is an advent calendar for one lucky person, help yourself to a secret Santa book and you can make a paper snowflake to take home. There will be mulled apple juice and mince pies with the usual coffee and tea to enjoy.
Judy from Asselton Cakes and Preserves will be selling her homemade cakes, quiches, marmalades and special treats and you can order your Christmas goodies from her too.
