The Day a Tiger Came to Tea












































Dear Reader

It's been another day to remember at the St Leger Ladies Day in Doncaster. The sun shone, the horses ran (and a couple even won for me) and it was a great day. The icing on the cake was the 'tiger' we'd hired for the day. He was fantastic and really played his part well. Here he is taking afternoon tea with the President of the Chamber and his wife and helping himself to a scone! Lots of people had their photo taken with him (the girls above really got into the swing of it) and gave a donation to the St Andrew's Children's Hospice for the privilege. This all helped to swell the funds being raised by Chris Tonge of Ultimate Packaging, who sponsored our event and who is celebrating his 50 years on the planet by doing all sorts of stuff to raise money - like waterskiing across the River Humber.




I've been talking about the tiger for weeks so I thought you might like to take a look at him.
