The cake seller!




A glorious day, the sun shining, the temperatures soaring and where was I today, flogging cakes at the Church summer Coffee 'n' Cakes morning INSIDE the Church hall!

Although a city centre Church, there is loads of ground around our Church and I thought it might be nice to string up some bunting and put the tables up outside, some in the sun and some in the shade, and attract some passes by. No, we couldn't do it that way as it has always been done this way - in the gloomy Church hall! Then, when we didn't sell much, the complaint was because it was only Church people that had attended the event! Passers by are not going to wander into a Church hall, where the people in there are so 'clicky' that they would feel uncomfortable, are
they?

Maybe it's just as well, the last time I manned a cake stall outdoors (Oh, and it's called the - pastries table now not the cake stall!!! - since WHEN?) a dog had got away from it's owner and went under the table where I had stored the surplus cakes, in boxes, in readiness for replacing the sold items. He wolfed down the lot! So, maybe this was not such a good idea!
