Mary Berry will be signing copies of her new book, Straw Berry, from 5 today in our newly painted book shop cafe. The hefty tome is the latest instalment in her 31 volume autobiography and deals with her teenage years between the wars when she and her friends lived in a barn and solved mysteries. “My formative years were a lot like being in the Famous Five” her press release states “But without Timmy the dog and with me baking cakes to snare villains and murderers.” It’s sure to be an amazing page turner.

Drink & Be Berry

Dear all. I just wanted to say well done to my cousin Jack-A-GooGoo for getting through to the next round on The Great British Bake Off. “Befriending” Mary Berry and her son Paul Hollytree in the bar between bakes has certainly paid off. Clumsy alcoholic Jack can’t cook for toffee but he’s the life and soul of a party, especially when it’s the BBC that’s paying for it.

Thanks Nelly Ryde (Jack’s manager, baking inspiration and shelf-stacker in 99p Land)

Annual Strike Ends

Hello. Just to let you know that the annual strike by the council’s IT department has just ended. The strikers took a little longer than usual to return to work due to the wet weather ruining their time off. Sadly our hopes that our young town hall intern would be able to update the Beckworth blog were misplaced as it turned out the poor sod had no idea about computers and wants to join our parks department.
