The week running up to the Surrey Heath Show was glorious, just the weather we needed to see after last year's show was cancelled due to water logging of the fields. But when we arrived at 8.30am on Saturday, not only was it chilly, overcast and windy, it was raining too - boooo!
But we forged ahead, and between myself, Charmaine and Linda, we got the gazebo up and everything beneath it ready to go in time for the 10am opening.
After a slow start (people waiting for the weather to pick up probably), by lunchtime it was heaving with people and our tombola and tea cup guess game, plus Linda's homemade cakes and bags were going well.
We were also pleased to welcome lots of children in to take part in our free bracelet making and daffodil craft. Hopefully we've encouraged a few people to hold their own Blooming Great Tea party this June/July as a result.
By the afternoon, the sun was shining and before we knew it, 4pm came around and it was time to pack away.
Thank you to all our helpers during the day - Charmaine, Linda, Helen, Katie, James and Clare and to everyone who supported our stall.

For anyone interested in how many tea bags there WERE in the cup - it was 579!
