Our Patch OCTOBER 2014 Holly Richards and Verity Clark make apple juice; Rev Chris Bunce, Cllr Sue Fennimore and Andy Slaughter MP enjoy the day ST PETER’S HARVESTIVAL I The rain couldn’t stop the fun or the smiles at this year’s festival. While the seasonal food, ale and chat kept punters busy, organiser Caroline Langton reports on a very healthy harvest for the church t was a cruel twist that saw the first real rain of autumn begin the moment Harvestival opened on Saturday (October 4), and then stop just as quickly after we had packed up for the day. Everyone and everything was soaked through! But, as the pictures show, lots of people came out to celebrate the change in seasons and smiled their way through the rain. Even the Hammersmith Morris Men (fortified by some excellent Fullers ale) danced for us in the pouring rain and led the parade of vegetables, flowers and fruit up and round the straw bales in Black Lion Lane. )=
