Fun fun fun at the Fun Day

On a blustery Saturday morning we set off out the gate and up the road to the community Fun Day at the Com.Cafe. Loaded with pots, plants, paper, pens and plants our prize-winning carnival float trundled off up Sipson Road to the Glebe Estate in West Drayton. We set up under an oak tree, stringing up bunting and soon a shout-out from the hosts brought the first curious children trotting over.
We’d brought along chilli and tomato plants to re-pot and on the art table we drew and cut out flowery crowns. Soon we had a queue of children ready to dig their hands into the bags of compost and take home plants to the window-sills of West Drayton.
After having the Com.Cafe visit us on our site at the beginning of August it was great to be invited to their Fun Day and find out a bit more about the work they do in the community. We loved the performance by the street dance class and wish we were young enough to go along! It was a lovely day, we got to meet lots of families from the local area and hope it’ll mean we’ll see some newcomers at Gardening Club and Crafternoons.
We’ll be back on Thursday for the community showing of new film Just Do It!
