Easter Tea
Those who braved the
blasts and bad walking to
the Easter Tea at the
Church on Saturday last were
amply repaid.
On entering the recently re
novated basement one was struck
with the cosy homey atmosphere
of the freshly decorated walls
and curtained windows-
The small tables looked very
attractive in Easter colours with
a nest of Easter eggs as a centre
piece. The side table, with its
Easter lilies, bunnies and the
traditional symbols of Easter
was particularly 'beautiful.
The home-cooking table was
so laden with such appetizing
“goodies” that it was
to make a choice.
