Saturday 12th July saw Janice throw open the doors, well, the garden gate of the vicarage, for a vicarage picnic in the garden.
The day started off at 2pm in the afternoon as locals started to arrive with their picnic hampers full of who knows what!?  By 2.30pm the afternoon picnic was in full swing, with a Jazz band playing as people tucked into their wine, sandwiches and chatted.  Janice played the perfect host greeting people as they arrived, it was nice to see familiar faces during the afternoon, from Keith Banks, Ruth Hilton, the two Carols and Mauirine and Richard…
During the afternoon the jazz band and “The Straws” headed by  St Mary’s very own Jeoff entertained with numerous country and Irish songs.

Thankfully the weather stayed fine with sunshine and the odd dull moment as the clouds hid the sun.  Nevertherless,, the afternoon was a huge success and by 5.30pm everyone was pleased with the afternoons picnic and entertainement
Well done Janice!
