Mothers Day in Riddells Creek
So happy happy mothers' day to all those hard working mum out there.
Yesterday was a beautiful day in Melbourne the weather was fine and sunny and warm. So off we went to Riddells Creek for a ramble amongst the roses in Angella Grahams' beautiful garden to help raise funds for The Cambodian Kids Foundation.
We had Devonshire Tea and a lovely walk through the garden and it was great.
All up about 150 people went through the gates, along with a raffle and some beautiful cushions and toys sold. A total of approximately $2700 was raised however the goal was $3000. All the money will go towards two schools which have been built in Phnom Penh, more raffle tickets are being sold so hopefully that goal will be reached.
If you would like to donate to the Cambodian Kids Foundation just click on the link and read more about them. Meanwhile enjoy some pictures of a beautiful Riddells Creek garden.
