Sunday 21 June - After the excitement of Ascot Ian and I took it easy on Sunday. We met up with some friends in the afternoon to go to a garden party. The event was held at Emmaus house, a not-for-profit organization which helps the homeless. Their offices are located in Clifton and have amazing gardens. The party was part of a fundraiser and far exceeded my expectations. There was a small croquet pitch set up. We played a rather haphazard very unofficial game which was a lot of fun. We also perused the stalls selling local crafts, second hand books, and a few raffles and games of chance. We then walked around the gardens. There were some very lovely roses as well as an impressive vegetable garden, a zen garden and a topiary garden. To finish off the event we had a cream tea for four including various sandwiches, cakes, scones and some really delicious strawberries. Despite the overcast, grey weather and a few drops of rain we had a lovely time.
