The cake stall is going great guns and so far the takings amount to £17.33 plus 3.28 in euros and $1.44. Note to foreign contingent – the currency in Purplecombe is still the British Pound and we do not accept any of this funny foreign stuff.
I took a lump hammer to some of the porridge and mixed it with some of the peanuts from the birdfeeder and half a gallon of some gloopy stuff I found in the Janitor’s cupboard which I thought was molasses. Well it has made quite a mean Peanut Brittle but I fear that Phil MaCavity the Purplecombe dentist has his work cut out. Unfortunately the Headmistress took one bite and it removed both the top and bottom set of her gnashers and they are currently soaking in a bucket of industrial strength Steradent.
The Maypole Dancing contingent from our sister village Pinksville partook very freely of Cook’s ‘special’ Chocolate Brownies and are currently dancing very quickly to the Flora Dance which has been turned up to 78 rpm on the wind up gramophone.
The competition for ‘Guess the Number of Currants in the Cake’ is going well. Cook thinks she’s got it made because she knows about these things but she hasn’t reckoned on Harvey the house rabbit getting into the pantry during the party.
Well we’ve nearly sold out here so I’ll be over to check all your lovely stalls soon.

Yummy, I do like peanut brittle, though this sounds slightly more brittle than usual and my teeth are already falling out.
Enjoying the Floral dance!!
I ate too much and was sick behind the bushes hope Janitor doesn't notice - great May Day though!
Just catching up and chuckled away before work on this!!!
