\"Cake<\/a>
Cake stall ready to trade, just in time<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

There was face-painting, and a beekeeper with a demonstration hive and lots of honey, and a brilliant nature walk guided by John Wells, and pond-dipping with damselflies and newts and water scorpions and ramshorn snails and mayfly nymphs, and butterflies all around.<\/p>\n

It was seriously sunny and parents pushed pushchairs.<\/p>\n

\"Excitement<\/a>

It was hot. There were lots of happy people. We sold masses of cakes, quiches, scones and delicious chocolatey things and tea and coffee and orange squash.<\/p>\n

\"Gunnersbury<\/a>
Gunnersbury Triangle’s 3rd 30th Birthday Cake, and lots of Cava<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I was too dizzy in the heat and busy with the stall, pond-dipping – and pouring birthday Cava – to take more than a few desultory photos. We had a 30th birthday for the saving of the Triangle from development, two years ago; a party for officials and Trust workers back in May for the day the reserve opened; and now this one for the public. Anyone would think we liked parties or something.<\/p>\n

\"Jan<\/a>

Netty, our Conservation Officer, is now on maternity leave. On behalf of the committee, Jan gave her a card and a big bouquet of flowers.<\/p>\n
