Car Boot Sale.

Last Sunday I did my first car boot sale :) It was pretty small, with only two other cars and some tables in the village hall. Even with this, and the fact the weather was being very temperamental, I still managed to raise another £30 towards the Kenya Fund.

I will hopefully be doing some more carbooting soon, even though for some of them I will have to get up at 4:30 am :( Well, it shows dedication I suppose!

It will also be good practice for when we go up Mount Kenya. As on the third night we will get up at 2:30 (ish) am to hike to the top in time for the sunrise, which is meant to be amazing. Then we will go back down the mountain to our camp for breakfast, then spend the next couple of days getting back to the base to then go to the school project.

Lots More Money :)

So I now have a lot more money in the Kenya Fund thanks to a lot of different people!

Firstly I would say thank you to Masonic Lodge of Peterborough for donating £344 towards Kenya and Tanzania! It is really much appreciated. When I received this cheque, the local newspaper also got involved, so an awesome photo with me, the leader of the expedition, my headteacher, my dad and the representative from the Masons.

Also, big thanks to Julia Cozens for donating £20 :) thank you very much!!

So, for the future I have lots and lots of events coming up at school which we will hopefully be doing the refreshments for, including concerts, new intake evenings, art exhibitions and productions.

As well as this, me and some friends are planning to do a sponsored bike ride from Lincoln to Boston (which is thankfully down hill!). At the moment we aren't entirely sure on the dates, but I know I definitely need to do some more training. But it will all be part of the get Keziah fit enough to go to Kenya as well as raise the money to get her there...

Thanks again to all donating people :)

The Royal Wedding.

I'm sure nobody missed the hype surrounding last Friday and the Royal Wedding, with the parties and celebrations up and down the country.

In Frampton, they held a Royal Wedding Party at their local church, with over 70 people in attendance. This was run by a local restaurant The Samphire at Frampton, and I, along with two friends, were the waitresses for the day.

We did this in order to raise funds for the expedition, and we did this through a tip jar placed near the entrance. Thanks to the generosity of the local people, we managed to raise £73.82 towards the expedition costs, so I would like to say a huge thankyou to them. Also thankyou to Hermione and Chris who run the The Samphire for allowing us to help out.
