Preparing for Fairtrade Fortnight

Monday marks the start of this year's Fairtrade Fortnight, so I spent most of the day trotting round town putting up posters for our events. The Coffee Tasting is the first main event, at the Bear on Thursday morning - we've got the Mayor and Kirsty Williams coming, which is rather good (and I've got to bake a cake, which may be fine, or may be an utter disaster....still, I can usually eat the disasters myself).
Slight technical hitch with the hamper that's going to be raffled from the Wholefood Shop window, but it will be Coming Soon! So will the display in Oxfam's windows, featuring the posters from local schools, so that people can vote for the best one (there is a prize for the kids).
There is another poster - "Swoon to the music of Alex Valentine", but that will be going up next week, in advance of the event at the Globe on March 6th.
Poor Islay is snoring on the window sill now - I've walked her little legs off!
