Another year gone by and the Strawberry Fair at Somerleyton in aid of the Lowestoft Lifeboat took place at the beautiful house of Sue and Dennis… as last year it was a pleasure to be there, 7 helpers which included me this year I am happy to say, and of course Dennis who worked so well finding enough chairs and sorting drinks taking photos and in general working hard, but always with a
smile on his face.
I had a great time with the 'Girls' helping to prepare the food, and I must say everyone made wonderful cakes and scones …
We were all worried about the weather of course, but the sun was shining so all the chairs and tables were set out cushions on when just before the ladies were due to arrive the heavens opened, oh dear what a shame, however everyone trailed into the house and drinks were provided …chatter etc all around, then the sun came out again, so chairs and tables all wiped down and out we all go again, just got settled when of course thunder and rain again … so back indoors… thank you Sue and Dennis good job you have a nice large house!
About 35 people enjoyed a lunch of sandwiches…scones…cakes…strawberries and cream…shortbread…tea…coffee… in fact a great lunch was had by all…
Dennis took photos as he did last year, a donation going to the Lifeboats …
He always manages to make us look good!
All the helpers took turns in helping to clear up, but of course Sue and Dennis would have the bulk to do after we had all gone home… So once again thank you both for opening your house to us, and June thank you for volunteering me to help as I really enjoyed it all… tired but happy to help a good cause and have fun whilst doing it.
I took several photos again as I did last year, but I think this one sums it up!
All dressed up waiting for the rain to ease!
