An Entertaining Evening

 Lots of practice and setting up beforehand - and the evening went very well

I got my "cocktail waitress" outfit sorted out, as we had an alco-free bar.  Clare gave me a little Christmas clip which lit up and looked very pretty [she wore hers in her hair]
The hot chocolate proved the most popular, closely followed by the green [ spice]d apple fizz] Fewer people wanted the red [berry] or blue [orange and lemon] Rosie was happy to take home the leftover bottle of berry drink. 
About three dozen people turned up, quite a few children.  
Rosie, a budding magician herself, was delighted to help Nick with one trick.
I'm not sure how much was raised for FRIN.* One of the trustees explained that Foulsham has the oldest "relief in need" charity in the country. Amazing, for a small village.
Just realised, my lighted pin makes it look as if I'm on fire! 🔥*An amazing £775 raised!

    What a super evening of entertainment and a very good total for the charity. Rosie is looking so grown up and I hope she enjoyed being the magician’s assistant. Catriona

    🙂 I was tired at the end, but one of our church families did all the washing up, so I could take Rosie and Jess home. There are some really thoughtful folk at our church🩵

    A lot of work goes into organizing something like that; no wonder you were tired at the end. I'm glad someone helped with the washing up. I'm glad you raised a good amount of money for the charity you were supporting. :)
