Supporting Macmillan Cancer Care

Away from pre-election excitement, this Friday I held what has now become my annual coffee morning in support of Macmillan Cancer Care. This is part of the "Biggest Coffee Morning" in the world, which this year was expected to involve more than 7 million people up and down the UK! I've been organising a event for four years now, which we hold at the Vittoria Cafe/Restaurant just across the road from my office, on Leith Walk. Tony Crolla, Vittoria's owner, donates the takings from the morning and we have a collection box as well. This year we made £335, and we had some new faces at the coffee morning as well, as well as a good blether with quite a few regulars! Thanks Tony for your support - and here's a plug for his excellent coffee and meals, both at Vittoria and at his pizza restaurant La Favorita, also in Leith Walk (both of which I can personally recommend!). (Here's some photos of me with Tony, and also with some of our visitors to the coffee morning).
