The 4th Phoenix Garden Agricultural Show & St. Giles Fayre recap

Saturday was the 4th Phoenix Garden Agricultural Show & St. Giles Fayre, it was a village fete in the capital. The beautiful Phoenix Gardens was the host of such delights as a brilliant brass band, Punch and Judy, farm animals, fancy pigeons and of course us. We were extremely pleased to be asked to run the cake stall at the fayre, donning our aprons we did a fantastic job of feeding the visitors. 


Pictures from our stall, along with some members of our committee
