She held the event at her home in Turkey Road on Saturday.

Sandra said: “It was fantastic. The weather was great and we had about 50 people there, a good crowd right from 11.15am and wanting cream teas at that time of day.

“I was thrilled - it was great.

“In fact I even recruited a couple of helpers from the people who came along to deal with the strawberry cream tea.”

She guessed that the event had raised around £150 including the raffle.

It was officially opened at 2pm by Town Mayor Cllr Stuart Wood and also there was Bexhill In Bloom princess Abigail Cheryl-Fuller.
