We all had a great afternoon at the Victorian Christmas fayre organised by Blackhall primary school. Children and staff entered the spirit of the occasion by dressing in school clothes and uniforms from the Victorian era and the school itself, from the reception area to the halls, was full of stalls selling toys, books and various odds and ends to raise money for the school.
The halls, classrooms and corridors were packed with children and parents trying their luck on tombola stalls games and raffles (true to form I spent a small fortune and came away with nowt) whilst others called into the small hall for tea or coffee and snacks.
Well done to all the children, school staff, parents and volunteers for their hard work and dedication, and for making today's event a memorable start to the festive season.
