On Sunday 4 August the South Sutton Neighbourhood Association held its 2013 garden party, hosted by Richard and Gloria in their garden, in The Ridgway.

Richard and Gloria have been members of the SSNA since moving to The Ridgway, exactly a quarter of a century ago this year. Heather is also a longstanding member, and was among those who came to the party.

About 30 SSNA members came, and enjoyed cakes, tea, soft drinks or a glass of wine. Richard’s courgettes were much admired, though his runner beans are suffering badly from blackfly.
