So, a long day at the Spring Fayre later time for a couple of funny moments...

One of the items I donated was a squirrel nutcracker like this one:

It attracted a fair deal of derision and caused much amusement, yet no-one wanted to buy it.  I nicknamed it the 'double your money' item as per the lunchtime TV programme 'Car Booty.'  A few minutes before the end of the Fayre I noticed it had gone and commented on this to the stall holder: no he hadn't sold it, neither had his colleague... it appears it had been nicked!

Talking of nicked, one of the items I spotted on the bric-a-brac stall was a collection of seven pencils held together with a rubber band for the princely sum of 10p. which I duly paid - pencils which I had lent out in a church service and which had mysteriously walked.  Which just goes to show it's the little old ladies you have to watch out for.

All good fun.  We raised about £1k for the redevelopment fund, saw lots of people come through the doors and had some good conversations.

And if the nutcracker-napper is out there, we forgive you.
