John`s open day postponed and a lovely tattoo !

After checking the Met Office Weather forecast today for this weekend John has decided he has no other option but to postpone his open day-the forecast is for rain all day with blustery winds-not good for an outdoor event ! It is such a shame-he had a lovely write up in the local paper [which came out today ] giving him some great free publicity [thank you to Rhian for that by the way ]
But the field is rather exposed to the elements and he didn`t want to lose [or damage ] any of the borrowed gazebo`s-also he has an army of villagers making over 50 cakes-not fair to them if there is a poor turn out due to bad weather -Still , it has only been put back a week-to the 24 th !
Thank you to everyone who has entered into the spirit of things and made a donation to save little piggy`s bacon here! We have been very touched and delighted with the response we have had so far and are having a great time reading all of the suggested names as they come in - You have given us a few laughs along the way too-I have a few favourites -but I`am not telling ! Have you got a favourite [scroll down to read them all ] ?
Finally , thank you to Sam McDonald for sending in this photograph -I thought it was lovely, so I just had to share it. Sam lost her brother to MND and she writes this tattoo represents my 2 brothers and my sister in law, there is a dragonfly , a forget me not , Ivy for everlasting life and 3 stars. What a lovely way to remember someone- thank you for supporting our awareness campaign Sam -we really appreciate it x

I'm hoping for a good day too! Wouldn't want soggy cakes and skirts flying!

That tattoo is beautiful.

Best wishes for great weather on the new date.

Don't count me out for the 24th yet, I'm working on it! I REALLY wished I'd have gotten one of your bands for my other half. He has been filmed for a Police series, and on one episode, all you could see of him - for ages - was his "help for heroes" band. xxxxx

So sorry about the bad weather this weekend, and I hope you have nothing but sunshine next time. What a very special tattoo.

p.s. I should have also mentioned I adore piggy. That's beautiful picture and he is so photogenic. I love him and all his kin and cousins over here.
