In a Manor of speaking

The weather was fine (shock, horror), although there were some rumbles of thunder (that's more like it), the teas were scrumptious (would you expect anything else?) and the Morris Men pranced fit to burst (with hankies a-flutter).

What a fabulous event - the Bishops Offley Garden Party was held in the grounds of The Manor, thanks to the generosity of Sir Brian and Lady Ann Fender, not forgetting the generosity of the donors of prizes, cakes, plants and other goodies as well as all the helpers too who moved furniture, built stalls, served food and drinks and manned the stalls. Plenty of money was raised in aid of Adbaston Parish Church and the Methodist Chapel - a total of £1600!

Of course, there are pics to celebrate the event. Are you on them? Check them out here.
