Saturday's Formosa Summer party was held in glorious 28 degree sunshine and a good crowd turned up throughout the day. As popular as ever were the pony rides, the face painter and Raimondo the ice cream man who has been coming to the garden for several decades and was reunited with garden resident Pat Graham who back in the day invited him to celebrate her son Jack's tenth birthday.
Jack Graham-Lindsey's passion for the garden ever since led him and his property company Harding Green to kindly sponsor the event and offer free cold beers which clearly did the trick as residents danced into the late evening to the sound of a brilliant live band - Motor City Soul. The Committee would like to extend our sincere thanks to Jack on behalf of all residents.

After a two-year hiatus caused by Covid the touring company Shakespeare in the Squares came storming back with a sell-out performance of The Tempest in Formosa Garden on Friday July 1st. With its opening scene of a shipwreck I was surprised to discover that the play is listed as the first of the Bard’s comedies, but the small but versatile ensemble brought out the humour & added a jaunty musical dimension with every member of cast taking a turn on a variety of instruments. Who knew that Shakespeare was the original composer of that Desert Island Disc classic A Sleepy Lagoon?? Anyway it was all done with great panache (under happily rain-free skies) to the audible delight of the 250-strong audience.
