The annual Teddy Bears’ Picnic was held this year at St. Luke’s church on the 4th of August.
Around twenty-five smiling children and assorted favourite teddy bears and other cuddly creatures arrived for an afternoon of craft, songs, stories and picnic food.

We enjoyed decorating gingerbread men and sticking bow-ties on to a really big teddy bear. Then we had a lovely surprise when a giant teddy bear turned up to join us. Thankfully he had brought lots of special treats for the children! [This was the lovely John Fenton, our Lay Reader.]
The sun shone for our picnic and the children all enjoyed the lovely outdoor space at St Luke’s. I would like to offer many thanks to all the wonderful helpers.
