Numbers were so great and I had no idea, next time I will over do the raffle tickets and we will have more notice of the date and numbers attending. You wonderful lot raised £156.00 on the raffle and cards plus a very kind £20 donation from LJ ,sadly unable to attend. I also know of donations going in the charity box but obviously cannot tell what's in there. Thanks so much Thanks to Andrew and his 'One Man Banned' who was wonderful Thanks to everyone for raffle prizes, can we find out where the hen tea light holder came from please, did you bring it Purple hen Thanks to my lovely helpers again, including the grown up ones, Mel and Andrew....you're hired for the next one! Thanks of course to Omlet for letting me fund raise and shout and boss them around and getting this organised Thanks to Annie for organising the silent auction, you've got until 1st Sept!! and for getting the beautiful cards organised. Thanks to the well behaved doggies and children of course ...Daisie was so tired A big thank you to Kate for my lovely smellies and sorry Claret we couldn't spend the night but thanks for the invite, some other time.

buffie Posted September 18, 2006 Author Share Posted September 18, 2006 I've posted some pics of recent walks taking us by egg producers. The latest was a battery unit and I think the external pictures say so much. Obviously no hens enjoying any freedom at the caged unit. I was surprised it was so near a public footpath to be honest. if you want to see, click my blog, BBx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
