Editorial for June......
June brings us Midsummer. In the old days, Midsummer Eve was the time for feasting and bonfires. The bolder and more athletic merrymakers would jump over these bonfires and the highest jump was said to predict the height of the crops for the new harvest season.
There will be lots to enjoy this month, for instance the Essex Food and Craft Fair will be at Cressing Temple Barns on the weekend of 6th-7th and on June 13th-14th they will be hosting the World's Edge Fantasy Fayre. Essex County Craft Show will be at Ingatestone Hall on 27th-28th June.
Gardens are at their best now. Many are opening for the public to browse around and you can find lots of them on the National Garden Scheme website. Various towns and villages are having open garden events, Coggeshall for example on Sunday 7th.
The Events Committee lunch will be on June 26th at Cressing Community Church.
The schedule for the Autumn Show is included in the magazine.
