Fairtrade Coffee Tasting

We had six different Fairtrade coffees, banana bread, boiled fruit cake, carrot cake, chocolate fridge cake (made by Cameron, aged 7), spinach tarts....but when the Mayor and Kirsty Williams arrived, no-one else was there apart from us volunteers.
It was a bit of a worrying moment, but pretty soon people began to arrive, and the photographer took plenty of pictures, and everyone seemed to have a good time.
And such interesting people came. I had a chat to one lady who's been running Herefordshire Greenlinks for the past eight years. She had some leaflets for an event they're doing on 17th March, at the Courtyard in Hereford, called Health, Wealth and Green Living. They're looking for an amateur dramatics group to put on a short play about how economics works which sounded hilarious - lots of "It's behind you!" and audience participation.
Jo put on her Screen at Hay hat for a while when the treasurer came in - and was saying something about a film festival in September, and Francine Stock (of the BBC) offering to be their patron!
It was all great fun, and Sue even said she would'nt mind doing it again next year, even though Frankie had left a trail of crumbs across the carpet (but she is only just toddling, so can be excused from any better behaviour).
