Let’s celebrate this gorgeous month of May as the days are literally glowing,
And the sun is warming, the birds are chirping, the flowers blooming and the garden growing!
In Chipping Sodbury it is a feel good month of activities, concerts, and competitions,
From a belated Treasure Island pantomime to the Music Society and it’s visiting musicians!
We also have a charity Bake/Cake Off, along with the ‘By the Woods’ Craft Fayre,
Plus, after 2 long years, the Badminton Horse Trials return, which are simply a world class affair!
In nearby Yate various tribute acts are performing from Abba to Pink, and a Comedy bash
With a host of comics, including Jason Manford, all ensuring it’s a top notch smash!
So send us an email or pick up the phone to book a stay at The Moda House,
And enjoy a wee break away from the norm with either friends, family or your spouse!
Hooray! – Spring is on the way with longer and brighter days resulting in a dose of natural light,
Which is so important for health and happiness and making us feel a bit better than just alright!
We can open up the windows, give everything a good airing and begin a ‘de clutter’ campaign
To re charge the batteries, lift our mood and make us feel refreshed, renewed and almost humane!
We can enjoy the infectiously cheery songs by the birds and watch the plants and trees bounce back,
And finally pack away the heavy overcoat, scarves and gloves for a colourful lightweight anorak!
Here in Chipping Sodbury, we have more concerts, a Carpenters Experience and an 80’s Rock Show,
Plus the very first Sodbury Yarn Over Festival with a chance to see demonstrations and to say ‘hello’!
Badminton House is opening its gardens for all to explore and to see the Spring colour palette show
As we prepare for the unpredictable April weather of mini heatwaves, sharp winds, rain and even snow!
Hopefully the grip of Winter is firmly behind us as the days slowly get longer and lighter,
With the birds sing louder and louder, and we can finally get the feeling of all things brighter!
The earth pulls at us all to stir and move, and to start making plans and prepare for new goals
As we can begin to think about putting the boots away in readiness for the shorts and plimsolls!
We have the long Easter weekend to enjoy, plus St David’s and St Patricks day, and Mothering Sunday
And a chance to spoil her rotten with perhaps a meal more gourmet, and a stunning floral display!
In Chipping Sodbury we have concerts, a gala dinner for the RNLI, plays and the spring MOP Funfair,
Plus further afield The Gold Cup, and bread making at the Badminton Estate complete with crafty cookware!
So let’s enjoy the clocks going forward and the arrival of the glorious daffodils to make us all smile,
And plan a trip to our lovely town to explore, plus a visit at The Moda House and stay for a wee while!
Now that January is out the way we can begin to look forward to the arrival of longer days,
With the merest hint that the winter months are gradually going, and we can anticipate some warming rays!
But there is still Pancake and Valentine’s Day to enjoy with sugar, lemon juice and roses all round,
With the usual frying and flipping, and the romantic and commercial celebration merry go round!
In Chipping Sodbury there are concerts taking place plus a tribute to ELO and Lionel Richie,
And the Fawlty Towers dining experience, with Basil and Sybil causing chaotic mayhem and being bitchy!
More Moda marmalade has been made and the new dining room table has gone down a storm,
And the heating has been on full blast to cope with the arctic air, keeping the house all toasty and warm!
So let’s begin to await some early occasional sunshine and to all those women who are in love and carefree,
It is time to bite the bullet, buy a sparkling ring, chose a special location and get down on one knee!
The Moda House, 1 High Street, Chipping Sodbury, Bristol. BS37 6BA.
