Open Gardens @ Hanley Swan (2021)
Apr 30, 2021 – 10:00 pm
Rhydd Gardens Open Day
Apr 22, 2021 – 9:00 am
Sue and I are fortunate enough to live at The Rhydd Gardens which is right on the northern border of the Hanleys and has a lovely walled garden. We are not really close enough to Hanley Swan to justify being part of the village open gardens but we do get asked from time to time if we open to the public, and people often tell us they had always wondered what was behind the walls you can see from the road.
The National Gardens Scheme encourages people to open their gardens for charity so we thought it only right for us to join in under their auspices. So we are open this year 1200-1600 on May 22nd and September 18th, entrance is £5 (to the NGS Charities) and we aim to have lovely weather and teas on the lawn.
We are located on the B4211 opposite Cliffey Wood (WR8 0AB), there will be some parking on site, but it is a bit limited so if you are more able-bodied you should be able to park in the nearby lay-by and follow the signs down the side of the field to our side entrance. You can just turn up or book in advance on the NGS website: https://ngs.org.uk/view-garden/42201
We have our own website – currently under construction and not yet finished – https://www.rhyddgardens.co.uk with some more details and a map.

Hanley Castle Broadband update:
HANLEY BROADBAND SUCCESS
Openreach have now finished installing Fibre To The Premises (FTTP) to much of Hanley Castle and surrounds, and the many people included in the village scheme are now enjoying the benefits of the best of high-speed broadband at no individual costs to themselves. With Covid-19, many people have now become even more reliant on a fast and reliable broadband connection for working from home, with Zoom online meetings being suddenly common and video calling becoming important for families to remain in contact, not to mention online learning, TV, gaming and file sharing.

“Thank You” to Ros, Alan and staff
Apr 25, 2020 – 12:00 pm
We would like to say a big “Thank You” to Ros, Alan and staff at Hanley Swan Post Office for all their help and assistance during the present crisis.
Not being able (or allowed?) to go out too much ourselves (over seventy), the shop has been a fantastic touchstone for pick-up of things needed quickly that our daughter can collect. How blessed we are to have a facility like this on our doorstep!
