Horley Footlights Tribute for our Bren
—————–Brenda and Tessa Backstage——————-
“Brenda was like the Queen of Horley”! said a teenager who had known Brenda all her life
Brenda played an active role in our village life, she was one of the founding members of Horley Footlights, the Parish Council Clerk, a regular (if not resident) host of the Progressive Dinner and so much much more.
This tribute is for her role since 2002 as stage manager for Horley Footlights, from the first ever production of “Mother Goose Rocks” in 2003 to the latest in 2013 of “Alice”. Brenda has been there back stage, front and centre, managing and curating props, costumes, publicity you name it Brenda was doing it. Over the years Brenda has supported the various directors, actors and crews of over 12 productions.
Brenda just got things done, she was what I call a “do-er”, nothing was too much trouble, she always found a way. Brenda loved to be in the thick of it, at rehearsals, finding props and costumes, backstage and of course socialising, she enjoyed using all her talents, of which she had many.
As the saying goes “the show must go on”, so it is a fitting tribute to pay Brenda on her final curtain call, to say thank you Brenda from all of us “Footlighters”, we will miss you Debra X
Herb Walk and Lecture by Fiona Taylor at Hadsham Farm, Oxfordshire
I too had the pleasure of joining Fiona on a “Herb Walk” around her garden, so interesting to learn about what I had thought were wild flowers (some call weeds) are actually herbs.
See below for Carlie’s post on attending another one of Fiona’s evenings.

And There Was A Secret Horley Fest
Horley Fest 2014 …………….who knew we had such a event going on in our mist.
Live music and disco from the pop up frog stage, beach bar and BBQ hut, Games, 140ft water slide, sumo suit wrestling, camping, camp fire and all happening in a field in Wroxton Lane!
Also see Carlie’s post from last year……
It’s already raining as we bounce down the Wroxton Road. Fine, misty stuff that makes crystal beads in the children’s hair. The tarmac gleams blackly-slick, and the chestnut on the corner of Little Lane totters beneath its weight of sodden leaves. It’s nearly eight o’clock, but feels later, darkness sneaking in on the rolling waves of a rain-grey sky.
We’re singing 1Direction ‘You don’t know you’re beautiful’ – the same line over and again -Oh, oh-oh, because none of us know the proper words. There’s me and four children, singing, screeching and twirling through Horley, party nerves sending us hyper. I’m the only one with gin in one pocket, and tonic in the other. I have a blue plastic beaker forced into the back pocket of my skinny jeans. I am wearing six earrings in my ears for the first time in fifteen years, and I feel as if I’m…
