It looks great! I'm so glad they've found their new home at last and look to be settling in well. This is a long-established #Oakengates #business which deserves the chance to continue thriving as the town is transformed, and will hopefully be with us for many years to come.

The weather wasn't quite as delightful this morning as yesterday, but the company and cake were! A second #Macmillan coffee morning, this time at the United Church, was very well attended. I sampled the Eccles cakes, which were delightful! #Oakengates

Another event which might be of interest at Oakengates United Church, next Thursday evening, 2 Oct at 7pm.
The Walker family were involved in founding what would become the Walker Technical College in Hartsbridge Road, #Oakengates, forerunner of TCAT / Telford College.
For those who missed it, the #Oakengates United Church, a short walk from The Wakes, up Limes Walk and next door to Teldoc, will be holding their own coffee morning to raise funds for #Macmillan, this Saturday, 27 September, from 10am-12pm.

Lovely morning in #Oakengates. The Wakes hosted a Macmillan coffee morning with quite the array of delicious cakes. Hope they raised lots of money for a very worthy cause!

Dark clouds over #Oakengates around 6pm this evening: dramatic or what?
It didn't rain straightaway, but there was some thunder rolling around, it's gone dark early this evening and we have just had a heavy shower.
It's not often you see a T-Rex, giant panda, tiger or dragon in #Oakengates, but we welcomed all four today in #OakengatesCarnival parade.
