Light House Garden Party!

Iain, Lewis, Steve and Ailsa spent much of the day today beginning the landscaping of the Light House garden. Photos below.. shame I didn't get one of Iain driving the digger. Maybe some other time?

Pancake Party

What a fantastic time was had by all at the Light House yesterday evening! About 150 children and their parents attended the Pancake Party, another Susie Fraser Initiative! Thanks to all who helped to organise and make it such a special occasion.

Maria and Christine, our hard working and much appreciated pancake makers,

churning out the pancakes

The famous pancakes themselves

There were children...

and grown-ups...

...and the proof was in the pudding.. or more accurately, the pancake!!
