This afternoon, the Union of Catholic Mothers in my parish put on a garden party with scones, jam, cream, home-made cakes and sandwiches, tea, pimms, and chilled white wine. There were various activities for the children and I had at go at the "Splat the Rat" game at which I was a miserable failure. They still gave me a lollipop as a consolation prize.
