Last weekend I was fortunate enough to be asked to be involved in the Marie Curie Blooming Great Tea Party at the Avo Hotel Dalston. Lots of care and planning went into an amazing day which saw over £400 being raised for Marie Curie which will help this brilliant charity continue with its work. Delicious food and drink were donated and prepared by generous businesses and lots of locals came out to enjoy cups of tea, sandwiches and the cakes and other goodies that were available. The weather cooperated and everyone was in high spirits and feeling good. Here are just a few photos from the day, apologies on the quality but I lost my handbag the previous weekend which had my camera in it:
This is only some of all the donated food and drink.
My lemon curd cupcakes (curdcakes somehow sounds wrong...) and my chocolate and six-pepper jelly cupcakes. They were very well received!
Strawberry & pineapple jam standing at the ready to be teamed with homemade scones and cream!
Lots of amazing individuals and businesses were involved in this day including:

and remember...
it's not your chutney...
it's Smy Chutney.
