This week we’ve got a packed P pod with local voices once again as Joff and Claire visited events taking place in the Petersphere over the last week.

From giant pumpkins to a woman in white to a blooming town, it’s fair to say it’s been a busy week in more ways than one, but great to hear our town is buzzing with activity.

It certainly is!
