Tea Cosy Festival Supports Climate Action Picnic Day
ON Saturday November 23 the Tea Cosy Festival Committee provided cups of loose-leaf tea, scones and cakes to those at the Fish Creek Climate Action Picnic. Children made “Thyme for Change” teacups to support the theme of the day…making change to protect our climate. Susan and Janet were happy to chat about the 2020 Festival.
