Baking Storms, Wooden Chairs of Epic Proportions & 3300 Tea Bags!

The Glastonbury adventure has gained SO much pace in the last 72 hours with baking vegan lemon drizzle storms, gathering the last few bits at the Somerset Federation office and our delivery of 3300 bags of tea!

We've all been buzzing around the many kitchens of Somerset in the last few days and stuffing our bakes into freezers across the reaches of the county. I alone have topped an epic proportion of 56 vegan lemon drizzles which are awaiting their Glastonbury fate in the coming week!

19 lemon drizzles in one morning baked - hooray!
Visiting the Somerset Federation office to collect all of our last minute flags and promo bits & bobs, I came across the gorgeous tapestry compiled by each WI which hangs proudly from the wall of the Federation office.

Teamed with the magnificent wooden chair bearing the 'For Home and Country' emblem, I couldn't resist a snap shot to remind us of our foresisters. I wonder if they ever had an inkling that one day their efforts would see us serving tea and cake in the Green Futures Field at Glastonbury?!

With a good bit of cake, comes the need for a GREAT cup of something hot, too! Thanks to local Somerset Tea & Coffee merchants, Miles, we are now well and truly stocked for our Glastonbury mission - with 3300 tea bags, huge tubs of coffee and hot chocolate to boot - all entirely fair-trade, of course! Our tea urns will be humming along to the sounds of the beat across the fields with this booty!

Oh and we've got some very special fabric, too, that we'll be making into something tres exciting, too - but more of that next time….!!
