A fund raising 'Gourmet' meal at The Vine on Friday June 28th
'Days Together' is a wonderful Community Group, when they are not at Altrincham Methodist Church, they are at the The Vine every Thursday learning cooking skills.
On June 27th they celebrated being together for two years.
There was lots of enjoyment!
And hugs!
And food of course!
Not forgetting the birthday Cake!
Inside the large space, and super big storage cupboards.

The original name stones have been included in various places around the new building.

Hair Oil Bottle!!!
A Mystery....this little bottle along a few others was found by the Demolition Contractor in the roof void above the Church, the label on one bottle suggested that it had contained hair oil. But why?
