T is for Tea Day

The  tea day I organised was a great success. Thanks to the lovely friends I have we produced some fantastic cakes and it looks as though we will raise getting on for £200 for Cancer Research. The cakes that were not sold are now in our freezer and we'll do it all again in December. Friends also made jams and donated raffle prizes.
