Can there be too much cake?
On a lovely Saturday morning the crew and community got together to chat, work and eat cake, lots of cake:)
Gallery below for your enjoyment.
It was great to see regular faces and new visitors and how their confidence has grown in time to get stuck in the jobs at hand or just enjoy each others company and cake, lots of cake.
