There were white scones, brown scones, seed scones. There were scones with cream and jam, butter, butter and jam, plain and whatever you're having yourself. There were chocolate meringues, iced fairy cakes and more besides. There was chat, explaining, introductions, questions and more introductions. There were pensioners and babies, cyclists in lycra, neighbours, friends and relatives. There were donations galore. All-in-all, it was a lovely morning! Mairéad, baking since 7.30 in the morning, raised over €500 for the Irish Lung Foundation, which I will register on the charity site as an off-line donation. Etty and I are very grateful.

that's the kind of fundraising I like!
ReplyDeleteVery impressive!
ReplyDeleteSeamus keeps insisting he wants to wear "Niamh's top" but I've told him he has to keep it clean for next Monday.
Good luck for the week ahead.
Tried hard to keep ours clean but they ended up in the wash!! Can't blame him though for wanting to wear them - they are great. Thanks Niamh.
ReplyDeleteVery Ballymaloe-esque Mairéad... Allens watch out!
