  1. What a fantastic event. I love Ma Manley's hat. She is a very talented lady! I'm glad the weather played nicely for you all and I hope you made oodles of dosh! Time for the organisers to put their feet up (or in a bowl of cool water) and enjoy a well earned G&T. xx

  2. What a delightful and well attended event and you got the bonus of cloud cover instead of the blazing sun!! Good planning and it all came together so everyone had fun. Perfect!
    In the background of some photos I almost glimpsed Auntie Glad and other dearly departed residents of Trelawnyd.
    Yes, feet up, happy, relaxed, and a G&T for recovery purposes.

    Hugs!

  5. I'm particularly enamoured of Ma's blue dress and sweater. It's not easy to find blue clothing in those hues, though I'm always keeping an eye out for them. -Kate

  8. No wondering about it. I swear by my Pimms Cups in the summer heat while sitting in the garden at wonderment.

    Lovely photos one and all.

  11. The blue linen of Ms Manley's dress is gorgeous. Does she hand dye her fabrics?
    Lovely garden fete, just like in a British ''cozy'' novel.
    Is the fete a bit easier to produce than the flower show--in sense of no judges to be recruited, contestants to chivvy into growing, baking etc, tight time frame? Would you want to attract young parents and kids in future, games, rides....

    1. Knowing her, I would think that she does
      We had large board games available , but I think we could involve the school next time

    What wonderful photos! You people of Trelawnyd look a lovely lot, just the sort of friends and neighbours everyone seks but very few find. I love that first photo of Mrs Manley inviting everyone in with that gorgeous smile!
    Everyone looks so relaxed and at ease with each other - and I think I can hear the band from here!
    So pleased you raised so much money - congratulations, all of you!

  17. What a lovely afternoon. You've ruined my image of Mrs Trellis though. She's perpetually in a bobble hat in my mind.
