Balloons bobbed, baked beans bubbled, beverages brewed, banners blew and our Big Brekkie burst into life on the Saturday of Christian Aid Week (19^th May).

Rob and Colin proved once and for all that men can multi-task by greeting guests, renewing supplies, clearing tables and establishing a friendly atmosphere.

At the hatch Sharron  served drinks and offered a pressing invitation to try every comestible on offer.  Few could resist the appeal of a table groaning with a display of cereals, milk, juices, fruit salad, jam, marmalade, honey, cheese and rolls.

At the stove our blue-aproned Minister pondered Sunday’s sermon while frying eggs and bringing out trays of crispy bacon and browned veggie sausages.

Guests relaxed over a second cup of coffee, reading the Christian Aid headline ‘Hungry for Justice’ and expressing a variety of views on the forthcoming royal wedding.

By 11.15 it was all over, and when the washing up was done and everything tidied away, we found that £246 had been raised for Christian Aid.  So well done one and all!  SPH.
