A typically English tea party

On Saturday afternoon (26/8/17), Julie and I had the delight to attend Afternoon Tea arranged by the Mayor of Leighton Linslade, Cllr Syed Rahman. We were greeted with a warm welcome, prosecco and a dazzling array of cakes & scones. Musical entertainment was provided by "Wind Power" playing some easy listening tunes on woodwind instruments.

We sat on a table with other Mayors, past Mayors and others. I was fascinated to learn more about Houghton Regis. I have never visited this town which has a population of over 17,000 and is set to triple in size over the next decade. The Town Council will have its work cut out to ensure the town retains its integrity and grows its community heart. But having talked with Mayor Cllr Joanna Hillyard (see pic below), I am sure they are engaged in this process well.

Altogether a lovely afternoon and very happy to help Mayor Syed raise money for his charities.
