The Marie Curie day we have been working so hard towards is held each year to celebrate the life of Christine Davis, who died at this time five years ago.
The yarn bomb is only little, but it is on what we all know as 'Christine's tree'.
After I'd put that up, the day began soon after. The formal start time is ten o'clock, but we were under way well before that. Here's the daffodil tree:
and next to it, the table holding gingerbread men (Caroline), macaroons (Sally) and fudge (Rhiannon).
At the back there is the table where Maureen and Pat sold raffle tickets; the prizes were on display in the window behind them.
The tea cosy competition board isn't in shot: photos are taken of each tea cosy as it arrives, and then we can sell the cosies. All the photos are on display, and people can vote for their favourite. A lot of votes were cast, but the winner hasn't been announced yet. Almost all of the cosies have been sold; these are the ones we had left at the beginning of the day:
But they had almost all been sold by the end.
Cakes kept arriving all through the day; this photo is one of Sally's.
Julie and Caroline are beside the first of the cakes - Caroline on the left with the collecting bucket.
Sarah's cake was sold for £100!
Thanks, Brad, for the generous contribution to the funds.
Today we are all a bit flat. Tomorrow I'll tell more about who did what, who came, and Phil throwing things at me.
We had a fabulous day.
