Hot off the press ‘and into the deep fat fryer’

Raj’s Corner Shop, Thornton

You can now purchase freshly cooked samosas every day at the corner shop.

Raj or family member will be cooking about 20 samosas per day – so don’t miss out.

I had to sample the goods before advertising and trust me they are absolutely delicious.

Why not treat yourself to a freshly made cob with a samosa on the side.

Dave Smith – Thornton Nursery & Fuchsia Centre

It is with a deep sadness that Thornton mourns the loss of Dave Smith over the weekend, after a short illness.

Dave joined his Dad John at the nursery in 1976 and was a member of Thornton’s very own Punk rock band, ‘Punk & Disorderly’.

A true stalwart of the village, Dave will be greatly missed by all.
