Burwash

THANK YOU: A big thank you to everyone that helped to make the final big lunch so much fun last Sunday. Sixty diners enjoyed a delicious hot three course lunch with coffee and mints. There was so much chatter and laughter it was obvious everyone was happy. The girls in the kitchen did a fabulous job and the waitresses were on the ball. It was a great chance for me to say a proper thank you to all those who have been so loving and supportive not just with my charity work but all my life. Donations were given to Macmillan Nurses (£375) and Friends of Fairfield Surgery (£240) by the diners.
