out of the ashes

Thank you so much for all your wonderful comments! They've made such a difference, not just to me, but to all the Seed Store Cafe volunteers.

On Sunday, after several last-minute changes of venue, we erected a trestle table on Gaby's plot for the cakes and brewed tea and coffee in her little shed.

So many plotholders stopped by, and everyone was so generous. We sold all our cakes in under two hours, and with extra donations, ended the day with a profit of over £100! 

While we know we'll need far more than this to rebuild, it's a very promising start and will certainly cover the cost of the new mugs, teapots, cafetieres, and other basic supplies.

Thank you again for all your amazing support. And Anita, please send me your email address!
