Garden Party...indoors!

The garden party day arrived after days of cake baking and chaos in the kitchen! The cups and saucers were ready, the gazebo up, garden tables laid with embroidered cloths and jugs of wild flowers on the tables.....and then the rain came down! So we had to hastily regroup, move furniture around and have the party indoors!A bucket of flowers by the front door.
The lounge became the craft table, ably manned by my son's girlfriend and the dining room had the cakes.
Despite the awful weather we made £328 and money is still coming in for the poor and street children in India where my daughter will be going to do some voluntary work in the summer. I had aimed to make £200 so my target was well exceeded. Just as it ended...the sun came out!!!!! Grrrrrrrrrrrr!
P.S. Since I wrote the total has risen to £358!
