It was the Church Fair today. In years gone by, this would have been a highlight of village life but those days have gone and the locals have found other things to amuse them. Still, the stalwarts of the church soldiered on and ran the stalls selling garden produce, preserves, old books, brick-brac, and so on. Marilyn bought some beetroot, a couple of treats from the cake stall and some other odds and ends. We have to support the efforts to hold onto the old traditions.
There were also a couple of competitions: Guess the Number of Lollies in the Jar, and Guess the Weight of the Easter Cake. With unexpected skill, we guessed the exact weight of the cake -4.4Kg.
The cake is spectacular, covered in royal icing with Easter eggs and felt bunnies around it, and Lindt chocolate rabbits on top. It's come at the right time, with Nera's birthday coming up, and the visit of friends from Canada.
I wasn't allowed to remove the cellophane for a photo but you'll get the idea.
