June 13 was a glorious summer’s day, with bright blue skies and warm sunshine, and Rowledge Village Hall was readied for a traditional tea afternoon with an expected 65 invited guests.<br />Freshly ironed white tablecloths were laid with fine bone china, cheerful summer themed napkins, bowls of clotted cream and strawberry jam, ready to accompany the home-made scones that were served on china platters, decorated with fresh mint leaves. Arrangements of fragrant summer flowers were the final touches to every table.<br />A dedicated team of helpers set up the hall, laying tables and making everything look so cheerful, all adding to the fresh, summery theme of the day.<br />
