The American Lunch
On
the eve of Wimbledon week rain did not stop play
at Marguerite’s American Summer Lunch –
twenty people arrived in drips and drabs and once
armed with a drink – red or white American
wine of course – socialised with the
gathered throng.
When
lunch was ready we filed through the kitchen in a
one way system to collect our plateful of food.
After that we ventured out into the garden under
awnings which proved not to be able to withstand
the downpour which ensued.
Katie
Farrant armed herself with a large golfing
umbrella and like a lifeboat rescued and ferried
stranded wet people back to the safety of the
house. It was quite fitting that Katie won 1st
prize in the raffle after all her T.L.C. A big
‘Thank You’ to Roger Manuell who
provided endless entertainment throughout. A big
‘Thank You’ too to Marguarite, Keith
and all the friends and family who helped with
preparation and distributing liberal amounts of
alcohol!!
A
grand total of £150.00 was raised for All Saints
Restoration and Development Trust.
We
now look forward to next year – and
discovering which country is next?
