Saturday at school

Ah, the joys of working on a Saturday! Each year our school puts on a special day known as Summer Fayre. Since summer weather seemed to be eluding us up to this point, I was somewhat sceptical for our changes of good weather. However, I was told that it NEVER rains on Summer Fayre, and this year was no exception. It was quite hot and very sunny - just perfect weather for fun and games outside.

There were many booths set up (usually run by the teachers) with various activities for the children to enjoy. My luck- of- the -draw this year was cookie decorating. We set up our table in a very shady corner and provided the kids with their sugar-shot for the day! Icing, sprinkles, gummy things, M & M's - all on top of a yummy sandwich cookie.


There were also booths with gently-used items for sale (couldn't resist a few books), and a few outside vendors (couldn't resist a few bottles of wine, either). There was plenty of food and drink, and I think all involved had fun.

Bouncy castles, bungee jumping, and pony rides in this direction.....

Food, vendors and games this way....
