Bulletin From Bromham: Dateline
– Sunday 28th February 2016
Here is our weekly round-up of events from Bromham:
1. Great
excitement in The Shire this week, when various local dignitaries visited the
construction site for the new cross-village high-speed country lane, which
snakes its way via a new route from the High Street, past the old cottages, up
around the bendy bit, before emerging through a hedgerow near the A342. It is to be known as the Piglet Line, in honour
of someone who has had absolutely nothing to do with its financing or
construction.
2. This
was followed two days later by a special run of The Flying Tractor, a class 57
Massey-Ferguson, from the High Street to the other end of the village. This
well-loved tractor, more of a local personality than a tractor, has been off
the road for nearly ten years whilst awaiting an oil-change and for someone to
fix the carburettor, at a total cost of nearly £10. Fans packed the street and, at one point, the
tractor had to slow down a bit when some over-enthusiastic person wandered
across the road. Excitement in Bromham
never stops.
3.
For
details of these and all other Bromham stories, don’t forget to listen to local
radio station Carrot FM.
