The annual Summer Fete yesterday in the vicarage was just as lovely as always.
Every year the vicar opens the gardens to an array of tombolas, second hand nicknacks, cakestands,games for this children like the coconut shy, splat-the-rat, bouncy castles, smash-the-plates (which was painful to watch for a collector...), second hand bookstands, brassband, cream teas and more - all to raise funds for the church!
I am not an avid churchgoer, but I do respect the local church and it's activities. The vicar in particular has been extremely helpful to us in the past in a difficult situation, so I like to go and show my support although I am not active in the congregation.
The tombola is always generous and out of the seven tickets (£1) 3 were winning numbers!
And this year my takings were rather useful like some soap, bathfoam & wine (has not always been equally useful...). Our Boy was also lucky and we went home with 2 bags full of prizes! I particlarly loved the Tollhouse Cookie Tin and the two red polkadot bowls. Look at my "loot":
Our Boy's sleepover is still going on... report on that tomorrow! ;-)
Ojojoj...

For en flott tradisjon!!! Og så nydelige bilder....du er virkelig en mester til å sette sammen små collager - bruker du photoshop eller noe annet redigeringsprogram? Ser helt profft ut :-)!!
ReplyDeleteFlotte bilder. Ser kjempekos ut!
ReplyDeleteHerlig med sånne tradisjoner.. Selv om man ikke er noen ivrig kirkegjenger ser dette ut til å være for alle. Skaper sammhold og god kontakt!

Det ser ut for at du bor på det beste og vakreste sted i England. Helt bedårende og så sosialt og inkluderende....
