BUG HOTEL 
I have received funding to build a bug hotel in the churchyard of St Philip and St James church NSP. This will be part of the Eco Church and Wilder Churchyards initiative. I will be inviting families in the parish to come and help build the bug hotel.
If you have any of the following items, could you save them for the bug hotel: small branches, straw and hay, broken terracotta pots, bamboo canes, roof tiles, corrugated cardboard, dry sticks, loose bark, dry leaves and stones. We have been donated pallets from the Church Farm housing development in Rode.
