Fayre time!

The preparation for the fayre began a couple of weeks ago when one of the products to be sold was made.


A lot of stirring was needed once the ingredients had been added - a couple of hours in fact.


After a couple of days to allow it to set, it was then ready to cut into blocks...


...and then cut into smaller blocks. Have you guessed what it is yet?


Soap.
Several more hours were spent wrapping it ready to be sold.




Other products were made yesterday afternoon. Delicious donuts...


...and scrumptious casquettas.


It took several hours to make the full quantity.



Another part of the preparation a week earlier was to clean the school playground - a mammoth task but many hands made it relatively straightforward.


The plants were chosen for the plant stall a couple of days ago...


and then the morning finally arrived - the plants were sold, the pastas sold out, the soap was very popular...


...and Margaret did a roaring trade selling natural essences.


A lot of work went into this but everyone enjoyed it and the results will swell the funds of the Amas de Casa of Torre del Compte for the forthcoming year.

And then just to finish off the celebration of St George's day, a meal in the evening with friends.
