A Special Garland For Sir Patrick



 
The photo above shows Sandra Saer of SMH publishing  at the Weed and Wildflower Festival at Bignor Church (2-3 July) reading from Within The Glade: Poems for Children - of all ages (poems written by Sir Patrick Moore, many years ago and which, until recently, had lain forgotten in a drawer). After the reading people admired Sandra's hat garlanded with flowers, one of many we made at the event.

A few days later when Sandra visited Sir Patrick, having found out we are near neighbours of his, she asked us to make a garland for him.  He was delighted with it!  The picture shows Sir Patrick, Sandra - and the garland,  at his home, in Selsey, West Sussex.
