Big Breakfast at Highway Farm raises over £1200 for Cancer Research
30th May 2010
Phew, what a busy morning! The sun shone, we were delighted, and many people gathered throughout the morning to support our 4th Big Breakfast for Cancer Research UK. They came for a full Highway Breakfast, enjoying lovely views from the garden with lots of chat and good humour, that's the way to start the day!
Pinney's donned and the Aga hot, we cooked and served 120 breakfasts between 9am and 1pm, that's one breakfast every 2 minutes! My thanks go to our jolly team of helpers, family, friends and neighbours, who joined us once again in support of Cancer Research. It was a very busy morning but we all have special people in our lives that inspire us to do good things and I really love to bring people together while raising money for charity too.
Thank you to local food suppliers, and friends, for food and raffle contributions and to Kate & Tania who ran willow teepee and fairy sculpture workshops during the morning.
We were grateful to Caroline from Leakers Bakery who came along to judge the Chocolate Brownie competition, not an easy job after eating a cooked breakfast! Mary Costello won both 1st and 3rd prize! Well done, and The House of Dorchester donated a large box of chocolates as a prize.
Together with Kiss CookBook sales we raised over £1200 for Cancer Research, Whow! and a very big thank to everyone.
