Afternoon Tea

Report by Jim Paterson

Summer weather in Penicuik is always something of a hit or miss, something to do with the Pentland Hills I'm told. Saturday 2nd August was one of those days. When it was sunny it was hot, but it kept changing to cloudy and showers, which were cold.

Undeterred the ladies put on a summer afternoon tea, with stalls selling goodies and baking, but in the hall. The door to the garden was open so everyone was free to take in the sunshine, on the odd occasion it blessed us with its presence!

All the usual favourites were there, the Tombola, Bottle and Baking Stalls, as well as a raffle with prizes for everyone. Tea, coffee and a wide selection of cakes were on offer as part of the ticket price as well. What more could you ask for.

Well I trotted along with my bottle of wine for the Bottle Stall, and inadvertently gave it to the Tombola stall. As they say "what a mistake to make". After being chastised by Mary Paterson (no relation) for my error I bought lucky dip tickets for her bottle stall, in an attempt to appease her wrath. Even that went wrong as I won the bottle of whisky.

With my tea and cake plus my bottle of whisky, oh and I won at the Tombola as well, it wasn't bad for an afternoons tea.

See what you missed.
