Many thanks to everyone who supported my charity bric-a-brac stall again this year at the Ockley and Capel flower shows. We were thankfully blessed with good weather at both shows, and it was lovely, as always, to catch up with old friends. Over the two weekends, we were astounded to have raised a total of £600, which is the most we’ve ever raised. It will be put to good use, split between 2 charities. Mission Aviation Fellowship (MAF) use planes to help people in the most remote parts of the world receive doctors, pastors, food, medicines, school books and anything else that can only be safely and speedily delivered by air. The second half of the money raised will go towards the building refurbishment funds needed at St Margaret’s Church, Warnham.
