A Letchworth community group gave their arts and crafts organiser a heartwarming surprise when they presented her with clothes and knitted blankets for her unborn child.
Sarah Royston, who has made arts and crafts a focal point of the Wilbury Community Café ever since it began in 2013, always comes up with surprising activities enjoyed by young and old alike.
The community presented her with a mix of knitted clothes and shop clothes, as well as two blankets created by Chris Taylor’s knitters.
Sarah told the Comet: “It’s absolutely lovely. I didn’t expect this at all. It made me feel so happy to be part of this amazing community.”
Sarah’s due date means she won’t be at the March café, so she has received the gifts early.
Councillor Gary Grindal, who represents Wilbury ward on North Herts District Council, presented her with a massive, colourful card made by Liz Noble.
Letchworth’s samba band is set to perform at the next community café, and the arts and crafts group intends to make musical instruments and join in.
The next Wilbury Community Café is at the Wilbury Hall, off Bedford Road, on March 18. To find out more see facebook.com/Wilburycommunityforum.
