On Sunday 19th July the Community Garden Group once more held their “Big Tea”. All were invited to the garden which was kept very busy all afternoon as visitors and islanders alike enjoyed the rare summer sunshine. Pauline and Laura added to the fun, painting faces. There were just enough delicious donated cakes to accompany the tea and coffee, with lots of people coming back for seconds. Willie held an alternative “Orange Shy” as the coconuts didn’t make it in time, and Esme correctly guessed the weight of the cake.

Plenty of plants were donated by locals, in particular the late Angela in whose name two beautiful roses were planted.
