1st Anniversary

The Repair Cafe started in our area one year ago. The Mayor was invited to cut the cake in Celebration. I have known Rosy (the Mayor) for 47 years as we did our nurse training together. I volunteer in the washeruper and tea maker.
To date the Repair cafe has saved 213 kgs of waste & 1050 kgs of CO2 emissions stopped by repairing household items. Many being electrical item and clothing. This happens on the last Saturday of the month.

Cannot believe it's been open a year, and that I've known the mayor 49 years!!!!

Ooh and I see one of your beautiful crafts there too!!!

A bit like the repair shop, just not on TV. That looks a great cake.

[Babs]

What a fabulous cake and an interesting story. I guess the cake won't be repaired.

[Shutterbug]

Yum. Sounds like a fabulous project. Nice capture for this anniversary.

[LManning (Laura)]

Rosy seems to dress to her name! Great festive shot.

[Kathy A]

Rosy is looking very rosy

[Mary Siegle]

Rosy is wearing the same kind of mayoral regalia around her neck as the mayor of Conwy, who greeted our choir and gave a tour of Conwy castle. Is that typical for most cities over there?

[Brian]

Yum. Well done.

[Susan Wakely]

@mcsiegle yes Mary I believe that the mayoral chains are similar but can be more ornate.

[Dione Giorgio]

Lovely shot. And what an interesting experience to be of assistance to a good cause.

[Andrew-Bede Allsop]

Hi Susan, We are paired again this week, do you think @northy is trying to tell us something? Looking at this great photo, especially the wonderful cake, I thought you might like to make a photograph that speaks of celebration in some form or other. Is that OK?

[Susan Wakely]

@allsop haha. Maybe she is. I little thought has just popped into my head for the challenge. Thank you.

[Lis Lapthorn]

Great. These repair cafés are such a good ideal.

[Ingrid]

Lovely! I still remember when you posted about this cafe! Time flies!

[Kathy]

Nice candid of the mayor cutting the cake. I hope that they'll start one of these at the library soon. One of the staff members and I have been talking about it.

What a great idea
