Sunday the day we planned our BBQ turned out to be a beautiful day ~ So the Children got to have a swim and it was nice to sit and enjoy the Sunshine ~
Thirteen of the villagers opened their gardens to the public ~ so I left the BBQ to go help my friend who had opened her Garden which is beautiful ~ this time I took the entrance fee's which was more interesting than folding raffle tickets :o)
The Village was packed with visitors many more than in past years ~ of course the lovely day helped ~ "C" my friend had baked cakes and scones the Kitchen table was full ~ and she was kept very busy serving the visitors ~
I have been told that over £2,000 was raised ~ so the Day was a good one and once again the Church benefits ~
When I arrived back home Lyn had cooked us all a Sunday Roast Dinner ~ Chicken with all the trimmings ~ Fresh Fruit and Icecream for sweet ~ there were Thirteen of us all together as a friend had brought a friend along with him ~ but it was a good day all in all ~
Tomorrow 22nd July my Journal will be 3 Years old ~ the time has just flown past ~ cannot imagine life without my Journal :o)~
