Christmas Fair

On Saturday we held our village Christmas Fair

The chidren loved the 'Unicorn'

and she enjoyed her day because as well as the children feeding her carrots

she hardly paused for breath eating the lush grass!

It was an excellent turn out, the hall was packed

there were lots of lovely things for sale

face painting, drawing and colouring

this sweet little boy was enjoying the lucky dip 

I didn't win anything in the raffle

but I did win a very nice duo of M&S hand wash and hand cream in the tombola. This was just two of the tables, there was another one to the right. People had kindly donated lots of lovely goodies. 

books, jigsaws and more

I love a glass of mulled wine

Over in the other hall some of my WI group ladies were kept busy serving sausage rolls and jacket potatoes with delicious fillings of chilli or coronation chicken and salad. Myself and other WI ladies took over at 2o/clock serving tea and cakes. I forgot to take photos of all the cakes!
Everyone agreed it was a triumph. The atmosphere in both halls was wonderful. We are a small community but when we pull together and share ideas and work we achieve excellent results. And as well as having a great time we raised money for charities. We haven't heard yet how much but I think it will be a lot. The money will be donated to our village hall, our church modernisation fund, the W.I. and Great Ormond Street Hospital.
