Just came back from the cricket match. I had to come back early as I borrowed a car. It sounds like it's going to go on into the evening.
I have a big feeling that one or more of the organisers are on WS or have been. Or were influenced by the sunflowers placed by our members. The yellow theme, the yellow flowers, a song being written by one of A's friends that is called You are a Sunflower. My dog is still wearing her yellow balloon
There are lots of stalls there like face painting, cake, fairy floss, animal patting zoo, Jumping castle, coffee place, hamburgers etc, bar area. A huge raffle with many prizes. An auction with more valuable prizes at 3.30pm. Singers and entertainment. Just as I got there today this really good singer began to sing Fields of Gold, which is a teary song for me (as my son's school graduation video had that as its background) and he sang it so so well. They had the song that was written for A by the local country singer in his 80s, that was sung by the 15 year old local. And one of A's friends wrote another song for her, about thinking they had so much time but they didn't, and when is it OK to smile again. It was brilliant.
They were bringing little kids up the front who had brought their piggy banks along to give their savings. I'm a bit teary just typing this!
Anyway, it was really great! The media presence was massive. You literally had to dodge the TV cameras, and other big cameras, at every turn. There possibly were a couple of thousand people came through? Not sure.
