Walkington Bowls Club. The members of the grounds team have been working extremely hard over the last few weeks preparing the green and surrounding area for the 2021 season. The club hope to be able to open the green from the middle to end of April, but at present we are still waiting on guidance from Bowls England who …
Today, on a bright but cold Saturday afternoon, looking at the bare garden and wondering which plants we planted last year and more importantly, in which bit of the border, our thoughts turn to the summer. Not to another lockdown summer in Walkington, but a proper summer with normal summer activities. What can we look …
With a bit of luck, our covid recovery roadmap, will hopefully see all social distancing measures relaxed by 17th June and we can return to some sort of normality. The concert below is the first musical event, or any event for that matter, that the walkington-life blog has promoted in over a year and is …

The Government has today announced that the East Riding, along with the Humber area, will all be …
Over the last couple of week I have received several bogus requests for my personal financial details. One was much more devious than the others. The first was a phone call, supposedly from Amazon Prime, to say they had taken £49 from my bank account. They apologised for the error and said they would return …
With this year’s pantomime cancelled, due to the pandemic, I thought it would be a good idea to delve into the blog archives and re-post ‘Putting on a Show’ in which Martin describes all the hard work that goes into producing a pantomime. The original post dates from January 2015. Posted by Martin Gore I’ve …
The Remembrance Sunday this year was very different from the usual service with strict social distancing being observed in the All Hallows churchyard. A good number of people attended the outdoor service and the prayers were read by The Reverend David Messer. Once again the silhouettes were standing, heads bowed, around the church as Steve …
