On the afternoon of Sunday 16 August 2015, Peter, Janet and Jemima hosted a tea and cakes get-together. The setting was the picturesque Elham Valley. A score of Members and Attenders of Canterbury Meeting, accompanied by spouses, a father and a little dog, enjoyed tea, cake and 'good crack'. The weather was warm and intermittently sunny, so that many felt able to sit outside. One person, Robin, enjoyed the deep peacefulness of the orchard, sitting for a while on a well-sited garden bench. Some took a walk right to the bottom of the orchard, below which runs the Elham Valley Way, a long-distance footpath that links Canterbury to Hythe.
