Remember when it was sunny..

It’s been a while now since I posted anything to the blog. We’ve been working away on the Sutton Grapevine project though and will be writing a lot more here in the coming days and weeks as the project really gets underway. In the meantime, I’ve been looking over the photos Orlagh and I took when we visited Sutton in the summer. How nice to look at pictures of sunny days while we’re in the middle of winter! So here, finally, are my pictures from Picnic in the Park 2008..

Picnic in the Park 2008 took place on Saturday 30th August and Orlagh and I escaped from London and travelled up to Sutton for it.
We found a large number of people and their picnics settled in sunny spots on the field behind the Pavilion.

And we had the chance to win prizes. In the raffle, you could win all these drinks – and the wheelbarrow too!
