The Big Lunch, St Margarets

From Big Lunch 2011

I joined Alison and her neighbours for this al frecso dining event. Certainly a very sociable crowd and loads of community spirit in evidence. Predictably, after 3 months of virtually continuous dry weather, the clouds that had been threatening all morning finally gave up the struggle to hold back, and the heavens opened. Luckily we had by that time finished the eating part of the Big Lunch and were well on to the drinking part, so a quick dash to the church for plan B was in order. This turned out to be well worthwhile as Alison won first price with her raffle ticket - a meal out at a local restaurant in St Margaret's. Not a fix honestly (Alison is a member of the residents' committee that organised the event).
