If You're Happy And You Know It...

... Clap Your Hands!

On Sunday it was my turn to work with the children at church. We talked about finding joy when things are difficult and made happy-clappy paper cup people.

After lunch Bob and I went down to the Village Hall to the Gardening Club Summer Tea Party. It was great fun. 

There was loads to do - a plant stall, lots of games and quizzes, and great cakes! We chatted to acquaintances and met loads of new people. Everyone seemed very friendly. The GC meets monthly and I have now become a member. Bob and I did two quiz sheets about flower names [one was anagrams, the other rebuses] 

Bob has just become a Parish Councillor,  and a surprising number of folk came up to speak to him about that. It's good to feel that we're getting to know more members of the community. 

Then the afternoon drew to a close - there was the usual Drawing of the Raffle, and the winners of the competitions. We were delighted our flower name sheets won these two little boxes of gardening bits

I shall use those plant clips and string to fix up the peas I'm planning to plant out this week. My current gardening gloves are rather threadbare, and jute string is always useful. What a super afternoon! 
After a rather intense few days of sewing related stuff, it was lovely to be out in the sunshine enjoying village life.
