September cream tea was a success!
Fortunately the cream tea in our garden did go ahead in late September 2021 and I believe a good time was had by all. A wonderful company from Cornwall called Rodda’s and son came up trumps, donating clotted cream and strawberry jam for 120 people. Other local companies donated raffle prizes and I organised a pink wheel barrow of booze as first prize, which appeared popular. All in all we raised £2,800 for our wonderful Pilgrims Hospice
