Somerset Association for the Blind
September, 2006I write to thank you both most sincerely for giving permission for our local charity to use your home and gardens for the Pink Picnic event. Although I was disappointed not more people attended, I believe everyone thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon and, judging by the comments in your visitors’ book, you made many people very happy by allowing them access to Frankie’s home. I have enclosed details of my expenditure, as you so very kindly allowed me to retain the gate money. We did not make a profit but we certainly feel happy that more people in the Mendip area know about our charity now! Look after yourself both of you — you are very special, and we hope to meet up again one day.
