Woodbridge with Bridie

Today we got all dressed up and took Bridie to Woodbridge. First we had to pick up our transport from Poplar Park. On our way back we found ourselves directly under a cracker of a thunderstorm.... this did not bode well for our fundraising effort. However, by the time we had got Bridie ready and loaded her the deluge had abated.
Shell and myself met Ellie (my daughter, in the purple dress) and Alex (our photographer for the day) and off we headed into town.
Bridie was all dolled up with ribbons and behaved like the saint she is.

We dragged her up the main drag while Ellie demanded money with menaces from unsuspecting passers by (very politely of course).
Quite a few people recognised Bridie and lots of people, little girls in particular came over to say hello.








We certainly attracted plenty of attention. There were times when I was afraid we might be the cause of a car crash! We even got smiles and waves from a bus driver and his passengers. Up on Market Hill we ran into a film crew, or something like it. We told them what we were up to, but clean forgot to ask what they were doing (If that was you and you read this, do tell us please?). We met loads of nice people who were interested in what we were doing, and generous with it. Thank you very much to everyone, we raised £111.40 today!!!!! Still looking for more of course...
Finished the day with another downpour. Perfect timing!
