INNERLEITHEN COFFEE MORNING!!

Well we closed last months newsletter with a wee teaser about the coffee morning held in Innerleithen. At the time of going to print it was just prior to the event being held. Unlike the usual irresponsible Newsletter reporter who would have told you he was going to print sumfin in the next newsletter then forget!!!! Am gonnae remember this time. So how did the coffee morning get on then?

Well I think I wouldnae be lyin’ if ah said Mary and Jennifer Broon didnae expect it to be as successful as it was.

The coffee morning in Innerleithen made an incredible £1040!!!! AYE….wan thoosan an forty quid!!!

An amazing amount!!!! So on behalf of the group can I say Thank You very muchos to all involved in all the hard work  prior to and on the day Thank you very muchos !!

£1040 tree-men-dusss Innerleithen!!

A junior class at school was given the holiday task of caring for the "nature study" tadpoles---but alas, they had all died when school resumed.

the distressed pupils said" But we gave them plenty of milk!!"

A definition of dietary milk----

" the collected secretion of the modified  apocrine glands of cattle"

As we say in the borders  "Fair puts you off"

See you all next month………………...Jimmy
