A LEDBURY estate agents was blessed with a rare sunny afternoon as it held a tea party in aid of St Michael’s Hospice.

Staff at Stooke, Hill and Walshe in the town spent a busy morning setting up tables, chairs as well as a gazebo to welcome visitors to their ‘Big Tea’ event.

Linzi Macdonald said: “The array of homemade cakes and strawberries and cream proved popular and the afternoon was a great success.”

The event raised more than £235 for the hospice.
