Yesterday I went along to the charity coffee morning run by the friends of the West Berkshire Community Hospital. Former council colleagues Mavis and Peter Greenhalgh were helping run the raffle and cake stalls.
Bussock Wood is a beautiful Georgian country house on the edge of Snelsmore Common just north of Newbury. The owners Mr and Mrs Palmer (descendants of the Biscuit Barons!) were gracious hosts. Mrs Palmer kindly showed me some of the wonderful paintings she has collected in her 57 year marriage - each one with sentimental attatchments.
The hospital friends do a fantastic job of fundraising. When Peter Greenhalgh was Mayor they set out to raise a million pounds for extra medical equipment, and it took them just over a year. They still fundraise three years on, and continue to provide state of the art equipment to make our new hospital one of the best around. Pictured from the left are Mavis Greenhalgh, Sylvia Galbraith, Mrs Palmer and me.
