I'm sitting in my brothers lounge at 6.15am in the morning. Woke up early to the sound of a new singing bird, local to Leicester and the surrounding district. The "Cockney Warbler" has a loud, piercing call which repeats every 5 seconds. Anyway it woke me early!!
I want to take you back to Friday this week as this was definitely the day the weekend started!! ...... I woke early (around 5.00am- which I did at least 4 times last week) to start to deliver all the cakes for the Fundraiser at the College.
I think I'd mentioned before that I had been given permission and the full backing of my principal to organise a coffee and cake morning at two main sites of our college.. Well after about 9 days of organising Friday 24th was the day...
At this point I will let the photos from one of the sites do the talking.... :-

Suffice to say the event was a resounding success and we raised an incredible £260.55p for Macmillan Cancer Support in under 2 hours!!
My relief and pleasure at this success was only outweighed by two things.... the fact that my brothers two sons volunteered to help out at the cafeteria I was hosting in Bournemouth (very proud of them!) and... there was just enough cakes left over to share with a local Hospice and the ward staff from Poole Hospital who looked after me so well last year...A GREAT DAY ALL AROUND!
The following morning (yesterday as I blog now) we were again up early to drive to Leicester, and a much anticipated and cherished visit to my brother, David.
