Tesco Delivers!

Our local Tesco Express and Geoff the Manager, are due a HUGE thank you from all of us!  

Last month Melanie and I hand delivered our request for many of the goods we enjoyed today.  Geoff was immediate in his positive response and yesterday we collected all the orange juice, clotted cream, milk, butter, tea, strawberries and chocolates we enjoyed today.  In addition, Roula made a request to the large Tesco in Warwick and they provided a £40 gift card which allowed us to buy flowers, jam and more fresh fruit.  Please, the next time you're in Tesco give a shout out to Geoff for his wonderful community spirit!

The grand scale of this event would not have been possible without all of us joining together to give our kids a memorable day.

Tea Party is Tomorrow...and I've Made Scones

I turned to my new cookery book, Baking Made Easy, and with my third attempt at her scones, I have found aa flaky, buttery heaven.  I am sure that the primary school kids will take a moment to pause and reflect on how delicious the food is.  LOL.  See you all tomorrrow.

Increasing Our Sphere of Friends

Good Afternoon!

I'll never really know how many people are reading this blog--but I will assume it is in the 100s of interested parents, students, staff and local residents!

This morning Melanie and I met with Katie from The Doorstep Library.  This is a new charity in the Hammersmith Fulham area--and whilst their charity number may be new, their programme has been up and running for over 3 years.

In a nutshell, they bring the fantastic world of books to children!  Through their fantastic group of volunteers, they have reached children with their storytelling.  They quite literally, bring books to the child's doorstep.

We are hopeful that we can find many ways to collaborate over the years.  Our first meeting provided an opportunity for us to learn about one another, brainstorm and share contact information--creating links within our  respective circles can lead to many dynamic opportunities.

Melanie and I are quite hopeful that our first endeavour will be great for the students of Avonmore; The Doorstep Library will host a "Storytime Tent" at our annual summer fair. This will provide a wonderful space for children and parents to sit and explore the world through words.  It will also help to get the word out about The Doorstep Library and their wonderful works.

As always, we'll keep you posted!
