Cambridge Cancer Help Centre - The David Rayner Building

Hazel was lucky enough to spend an afternoon yesterday, helping out at a bit of a do, for the Cambridge Cancer help Centre. She was invited to help dispense drinks from the bar for the opening of the David Rayner Building which has been 18 months in the making. It was officially opened by none other than the Duchess of Gloucester.

Everyone who helped to make the project a success, whether donating time, money or materials attended and even those who attend the centre currently. Everyone was so proud of what has been achieved in such a short space of time and incredibly awed by the work of the centre itself, which continues to provide support for those suffering from cancer and other terminal illnesses.

Anyone who has suffered through such a terrible illness as cancer, or their families and loved ones, can appreciate what a great need there is for centres such as this. If only more people could have the vision and courage to go ahead with these kinds of projects. Those which bring together the whole community, as is the case here, then perhaps we would not be without hope in the face of such struggles.

Out and About

We recently took a trip to a local garden centre, and a fun time was had by all. We picked up lots of baby plants for the Vintage Fabric Market Gardens as well as some vegetables for planting. We are on our way to self - sustainability! There is nothing like home grown vegetables to keep you healthy, and of course they taste better too!



We did a good deal of browsing and made she we covered every inch of the place to make sure we hadn't missed a single thing. Here are a few pictures of what we saw and loved.
