or, in our case:
​Macmillan Afternoon Tea

Picture
Each year, we raise funds for Macmillan Cancer Support as part of their World's Biggest Coffee Morning.  We don't mind being a bit different, and in previous years a coffee morning would have clashed with the Toddler group session, so we run an Afternoon Tea instead.  Even though that clash no longer applies, we stayed with our usual arrangement, and our Afternoon Tea was from 2pm to 4pm on Friday September 29.

Attendance was lower than previous years, but we still raised a total of £55.  Thanks to everyone for their help, support, baking and company.

Greening Cobbett

Our gardeners were successful in applying for a Community Chest grant from the City Council.  The funds have been used to improve the beds around the Library, to turn the small enclosed area at the back of the building into a pleasant seating area and to provide additional planting near the statue.  Plants have been chosen, in part, to cope with the heavily-polluted air at this busy road junction, and should make a contribution to absorbing that pollution.

The free-standing courtyard walls were pressure-washed, and received a coat of masonry paint.  The bricks are the London Rustic type with a wavy pattern, used in many Southampton buildings.  Their surface detail means they used up far more paint than plain ones would have done!

Planters for the courtyard were bought from the Southampton Wood Recycling Project, and most of the plants came from Mayfield Nurseries.
