Heaps of joy for backyard bees, trees, vines and bushes that bear nature’s sweetest bounty, adding local honey, jams and jellies, to Saturday’s European-style Christmas Fair.
And there is much more, including stalls displaying the work of parishioners who have knitted and stitched, made Christmas cards or ornaments, or collected and donated books, jewellery, and new-to-you treasures.
Purveyors at the home-baking table have all manner of kitchen edibles to attract the shopper intent on taking home ready-made baked goods or a jar of preserves.
Jams, jellies, pickles and relish causes one to marvel at so much summer goodness captured within glass.
