Spring Open Day – A Gloriously Rainy Success

Our Open Day on Sunday 17th May was in danger of being washed away in torrential rain but thanks to you folks who braved the weather and attended it managed to be a wonderful day.  We were even blessed with sunshine for a couple of hours.

The stalls filled with homemade cakes, pickles, preserves and bread was very popular and of course so was the plant stall and thanks to the weather the plants didn’t require watering.  People had the opportunity to visit a fortune teller who did predict there would be sunshine despite doubts.

Chickens were around to say hello and they kindly offered to be part of Chicken Pooloute, a game where could bet on the whereabouts of the next plop from a chicken.  It proved to be a rather grand game and many prizes were won.

A big thank you to the Retired Greyhound Trust and Friends of the Earth who had stalls at the open day and of course a big thank you to all of you who helped by volunteering your time to help and to those who attended.

We have some photos of the event.  Here they are as a thumbnail set.
