Duchess of Cornwall visits the Scrapstore!

On Tuesday 12th February, we were delighted and honoured to host the Duchess of Cornwall at the Scrapstore.  She was kind enough to officially open our new Community Room - funded by those lovely people at Hills. 

Jane Wheeler and Glynis Cosgrave (Director & Assistant Director) gave Her Royal Highness the grand tour and she was presented with two of our famous chicken door-stops with the names 'Camilla' & 'Charles' sewn onto their bottoms! 

She then joined us for storytime, with our fantastic patron Neil Griffiths.  Neil told us the story of  'Esme's Egg' - it was a cracking yarn.  (Sorry, couldn't help myself!)  She then officially opened the curtains and told us that she was very glad to be here and that she would love to bring her grandchildren to the Scrapstore for a look around and to come to another storytelling session with Neil. 

We can't thank her enough for fitting us into her hectic schedule!

Here's a few pics!
