thanks to all for the successful festival

There are so many to thank for the festival as we all put a lot of work into the event in preparation and on the day itself. However it was good fun and well attended with over 100 people through the early afternoon.

Special thanks must go to Shinina for placing the event into motion.

And Nicola for her wonderful cakes and vibrant enthusiasm on the cafe.

As a brief on the day we had .......

2 specialist Fairtrade stalls with cotton http://the-cotton-store.myshopify.com/ and products from the Vine.

Local included Deezines who were another unique collection of local craft made goods..... Thank you so much for the carrot!

The local church also brought their craft and so did Marilyn with her fab jewellery.

Star of the day for effort and inventive creation was Helen Long and her nut milk. Ideal for dairy-free and vegan diets she is fast developing a whole range of fantastic uses based on a more sustainable use of the worlds resources without the need for animal suffering.

I must thank Nigel from Kent Wildlife who brought along loads of info on local walks and ways to engage with our natural world.
