Those who follow my blog will know that I lost my mum last year and wanted to find a way to celebrate her life. As a Putney resident for most of her life and a volunteer for Age UK's Be-A-Friend scheme (even in her 80's!) I decided that supporting Age UK, Wandsworth would be the most fitting way to pay tribute to her.
Last year's Vintage Evening was a massive success - you can read all about it here - and it spurred me on to hold a Summer Fair this Saturday 22nd July and a 50's Evening in November.
Years of organising school events has given me the experience but going solo has been a real learning curve. Basically I need about 3 carbon copies of myself and Mr Misfit, along with the lovely friends who have volunteered their services on the day.
I'm feeling quietly confident, a tad frazzled, excited and terrified - all in equal measures. I'm also doing regular sun-dances to ward off any threatening clouds.
So, if you're a Putney resident pop along and introduce yourself to the wild-eyed, manic one - I may well be in the bar!
