It was a beautiful sunny day - ok it was a swelteringly HOT day! Luckily most of us had gazebos or garden parasols for shade and there was even an occasional hint of a breeze to take the edge off...
The fete was everything a good school fete should be. There was plenty to keep the kids occupied - bouncy castle, coconut shy, skittles, a zip wire, a police car and a fire engine for them to climb about on (and set off the siren in...) not to mention the fabulous play ground that has recently been completed!
We all had a great day - met some new customers, made some new friends and donated 10% of our takings to the school fund too.
Here are a few pictures of our day...
Hurrah for gazebos! Not only do they keep the sun off but they also make handy bunting display space too!!
Lots of lovely stalls...
No, I wasn't in trouble (for a change ;-) ) it was a there purely so the kids could play with the siren. Which they did. A lot...
Live music
Lovely vintage motor!
Roo helped out a bit too - here he is in a rare 'not-playing-up-for-the-camera' shot, modelling his favourite 'Sweet Lavender Kitty'...
...and a more normal 'properly-playing-up-for-the-camera' shot!!
We had a lovely day and after years of rubbish summers I think schools around the country must have breathed a collective sigh of relief that this year the summer fete season has truly felt like summer!!
