Just a great book swap

Just got back from the busiest book swap ever. 
We have an absolute car full  of donated items, met some wonderful people. Margaret did a sterling job selling DVD's and CD's and raised 50 euros.
Someone else, the kindest French lady came and donated 50 euros. Chrissie Hargreaves ( happy birthday Chrissie) came along with super things for the lads and also tells me she has a goodly donation from things she has sold. 
Caroline Mills was on coat duty with her two lovely dogs and ended up with a table of warm coats.
 Glynis Howgego donated 6 beautifully decorated cup cakes for my boys tea. ( I will have to stop Malc popping round.)
I sold lots of things on this site which were collected. John Dawson created a lot of interest with his pictures of old St.Antonin and 4 people gave me their email addresses and paid.
A new collection of books flew out.
Quite a lot of us are going next Monday 10.30 am to meet for coffee and mince pies at the Gazpacho again.
We will be forging new friendships and planning meeting regularly. Men and women, singles and  couples.
All in all a great morning, I think the final sum taken was 275 euros, all going into the coffers of Main tendues 82
