Superb day at Bermondsey Street Festival. Gets better each year and that includes our stall which was constantly busy, full of materials (and brownies thanks to Clare), and looked amazing with our new banner, Jane's bike bunting and smiles. The warm weather was a nice addition.
Thanks SO MUCH to all who helped on the stall: Ann, Sue, Jane, Colin, Ruth, Clare, Rebecca O-B, Rebecca L, Vanessa and Matthew from LCC.
