Hello!
Many, many thanks to everyone who supported the Coffee
Morning on Saturday, from the team that helped on the day to the people who
came and drank coffee, the folks that made cakes and those who sent
donations. A big THANK YOU We raised just over €750 for the
Macmillan Trust and the Institut Bergonie.
It was a beautiful morning, the sun shone and we were all
outside by the river. The little extra
games were so well supported, and for those who are curious there were 4856
100s and 1000s on the cake. The winners
have kindly re-donated their prize to the cause; again, I can’t thank you
enough.
Whatever you do this week, have a great time in the Gironde
and Dordogne regions and if you know of an event, then please don’t hesitate to
let me know. I can always add an event
even after the blog has been posted – it’s not too late.
Best wishes,
Helen
