Results from the tea party are now in! Well they have been for a while, we just didn't get round to blogging it!
The day dawned bright & beautiful (thank God) and the final decorations were made to the conservatory - daffodils very kindly donated by Mike Mann of Varfell Farm, added to the ivy round the kitchen door.
Joules had also broken all records completing a rag rug of daffodils in a matter of hours to be sold by silent auction on the day.
A nervous hour was then spent waiting for people to arrive... We don't live in the real world, this is Narnia and people don't just pass, they have to be guided. Fortunately not through a wardrobe, read C.S.Lewis if you're not sure of this - The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe.
But come they did, all of a rush, about thirty in total and our little Cottage did it's Tardis impression and expanded to welcome them all! Copious cups of tea and plates of cakes were consumed and for the late arrivals homemade leek and potato soup was on the Aga.
Like all good things it ended too soon and the money was counted. The total was £300, all raised in three hours. The picture sold for £25 and doggy bags were bought to take home to hubbies who could not attend.
A HUGE thank you to all those who attended and contributed.
