Hallmark 2016. Strawberry Tea at Woodbyne Farm reported by Betty Tyler. West Wycombe Brass Band returned to play for this Strawberry Tea in Paul and Trish Johnstone's delightful spacious garden at Woodbyne Farm in Main Road, Lacey Green. We are most grateful to them and others in the past who allow us to use their lovely gardens.
How lucky we were to enjoy such a pleasant relaxing afternoon in comfortably sunny weather listening to the music whilst partaking of strawberries and cream, scones and home-made cakes with a cup of tea. This is an occasion when villagers can get together as they did in the past. We just need everyone's support to keep these events going.
Most participants were villagers with relatives and friends. There were even some members of the walking club, relaxing after having walked 6 miles in the morning.
Very many thanks to those wo so generously donated cakes and their time. What would we do without them?
