We had a lovely time at our Strawberry Tea recently. The sun shone, giving us beautiful views over Dovedale, with everyone enjoying the opportunity to catch up with old friends or to meet new ones over afternoon tea.

The birthday girl and boy, Theresa and John

Talented young local trumpeter Josh Short delighted us with some vintage tunes, as well as playing an impromptu “Happy Birthday” to Theresa and John, whose birthdays it was that day. We were also joined by some special guests including Derbyshire County Councillor and long time Careline supporter Steve Bull; as well as 3 representatives from M&S Ashbourne, who have helped us to raise a significant amount of money this year. Pat Arnold, Site Manager at St Oswald’s Hospital was able to join us  for a cup of tea too.

Everyone agreed what a super afternoon it had been!
