This is a subtitle for your new post
The long summer holidays are almost over and out, and it is time to face the daily grind once again,
As we get ready for the more mundane routine and the cooler weather that starts to make us complain!
But there is still lots of activity in Chipping Sodbury, and nearby that give us plenty to shout about,
From a Fleetwood Mac tribute act, to the beautiful open gardens at Badminton House to view and check out.
The Sodbury Players are back in action at the Town Hall performing Noel Coward’s smash comedy hit,
Blithe Spirit, a much loved and revived classic drama offering conflict, big laughs and some ghostly wit!
Here at The Moda House the aga has had its yearly service and is gleaming after a professional clean
And Duncan has jet washed the outside area, so we are all up to date and looking smart and pristine!
September marks the unofficial start of Autumn with the football season kick off, and the schools going back,
Along with the Harvest Festival, the corn dollies, the biannual MOP Fair and the completion of the haystack!
So let’s get ready for the equinox when day and night are of equal length, and the temperatures taking a dip,
And plan a visit to Chipping Sodbury and The Moda House for a break, and an enjoyable and relaxing trip!
A very special month at The Moda House as we celebrate 22 incredible years of buying the B&B,
And it seems only five minutes ago since we arrived with our belongings and the all-important key!
It has been an amazing ‘journey’ and experience, with a roller coaster of many lows and highs
Resulting in a very steep learning curve from maintenance upkeep to the odd unpredictable surprise!
We are also cracking open the champagne as Duncan is celebrating his 70th birthday on the glorious 12th,
And firmly believe that to keep going is the best way forward as long as we have our continued good health!
In lovely Chipping Sodbury we have a few tribute acts on stage at the Town Hall including the amazing Pink
And the eat:Festival is back once again with a one day celebration of local and regional food and drink!
The Summer Search is well underway, and the Sodbury in Bloom team have created a colourful display
Transforming the High Street with bright baskets and planters full of purples and pinks for all to survey!
So let’s just enjoy the long, lazy and hazy days, and the scent of blooming flowers filling the air,
And the natural beauty of August with its festivals, fairs and events that showcase diversity everywhere!
The starting pistol fires shortly for the Paris Olympics but here, closer to home, and in the town
We have our own French production of Les Misérables with those iconic songs to bring the curtain down!
The Sodbury Players are also on stage performing a brand-new comedy called ‘Get Your Greek On’,
And there is also a Whitney Houston tribute act with the opportunity for some singing and a danceathon!
The popular Sodbury Fest is back with beers, ciders, live music, local food vendors and a set from Badness
As they close the event with immense energy and excitement to celebrate the one and only Madness!
Nearby the Bristol Harbourside Festival takes place with 3 days of fun and festivities for everyone to enjoy,
And to soak up Bristol’s unique atmosphere, diverse communities and rich maritime history – ahoy!
So let’s hope for more sunshine to create some good vibes as summer is well and truly under way,
And why not come to Chipping Sodbury and The Moda House for a wee break and a marvellous stay!
A month where it is delightful to be in the garden with flowers bursting forth from every direction,
And with the hum of the bees and the fragrance of jasmine, lavender and roses ensuring perfection!
Another jam packed few weeks ahead in Chipping Sodbury kicking off with The Big Lunch celebrating
50 years since Abba won the Eurovision and a chance to dust off those flares and get the rhythm pulsating!
The Super Trouper street party is a free get-together and a way of embracing the local community
With the perfect excuse to get on your glad rags, pack up a picnic and enjoy the occasion and opportunity!
The gardens at Badminton are open and tribute acts to Robbie Williams and Oasis are back to excite,
Plus we can welcome and enjoy Father’s Day, the longest day and the famous Wimbledon fortnight!
The Chipping Sodbury Festival takes place with a combination of dance, arts and crafts and local bands,
Alongside rides and entertainments, local talks and a huge range of different eating and drinking stands.
It culminates in three big outdoor events including the all-day Street Fayre with a carnival procession
Followed by the free Music in the Street show headlined by a local band performing a lively session!
The classic car race also comes to town this month with an array of eye-catching vehicles on display,
In all shapes and sizes and various ages which makes it a most interesting and memorable day!
