• WOW kids wow the visitors to the Abbeyfield fete.

  • The two Weymouth Abbeyfield Houses, Legh and Macpherson, combined to hold a fete in the latter’s garden in Wyke Oliver Road. The good weather encouraged a bumper turnout of residents and visitors, plus more than a few well behaved dogs! On show was a wide array of stalls offering beautiful homemade cards, jewellery, books, plants, artwork and new to you items. Cream tea refreshments were much enjoyed and the hamburger stall was doing brisk business - so much so that a runner was sent to the house kitchen with a plea for more fried onions! A highlight of the afternoon was a very professional performance by the WOW Kids under the watchful eyes of John and Janet Stockley. It was nice to see the equal mix of boys and girls really putting their hearts into some very lively song and dance routines. The proceeds of the fete went to providing amenities for the residents, split equally between the Legh and Macpherson houses. read more
