Grace Darling

We travelled up to Rogers on Saturday for the Grace Darling 175th Celebration party. It was lovely to see everyone gathered together to commemorate her daring rescue on that day in 1838.
We wore a little bit of fancy dress.... sou'wester hats and wellies and we put together an inflatable seagull hanging on a stick and named him Jonathan. Ros made a cake with a lighthouse on top. Roger put on a lovely buffet which included Seagull egg quiche and Puffin Pie, lovely homemade bread and Grey Seal and Common Seal cheeses. There was a toast to our heroine and a fun quiz. People used the memorial toilet and a good time was had by all. x
