Sports Day Fun!

What a fabulous Old Fashioned English Sports Day and Cream Tea we had yesterday! I for one had an enormous amount of fun, and Mum said that yesterday she laughed just as hard as she did when she was a little girl. Here are some pictures:

After the races were over we all trotted down to our house for a cream tea! There was a bit of confusion as to what exactly a cream tea is... cream in the tea? On the scone with jam? Jam in the tea? But eventually I think we all ended up with a "proper" cream tea: scone, jam and cream, separate from the tea.

We were very pleased that some "real" Brits (other than my Mum) showed up to show us how it all is done!







I hope everyone enjoyed themselves as my family did. Thank you all for making this a true FUNdraiser.

Cheers!
