Cream Tea

A beautiful garden in Rochester was the setting for a garden tea party on the 6th June which was a great success with many cream teas consumed and other opportunities to spend money and support work in Zimbabwe.

A good number of people turned out to support this event and the weather held – not quite as hot as the week before though. One of the UK trustees gave a short presentation at the end of the day.
