The annual bake sale and craft fair at Saint John’s was in full tilt yesterday in the Great Hall. The Saint John’s Boy’s Choir was offering coffee and baked goods for the shoppers and all sorts of handmade items were on display from beautiful wood creations, hand painted Christmas ornaments and homemade jams and jellies to authors and book signings, quilts and polyhedrons! Hundreds of people got a jump on completing their gift lists. It is actually a great thing to be sponsoring as the prices are very reasonable, the items are handmade rather than mass produced and the proceeds go to supporting the local economy. Just like the medieval towns of old with the monastery facilitating the venture!
Peace and joy, bpv
