At last it happened. The kids realised the potential of our little bit of wasted ground at the front of the house. Oisin started the idea. He gathered up some bunches of dead dried flowers and set up a stall selling 'bouquets' for 20 pence. The other kids joined in by making bouquets from the weeds growing between the concrete. Soon every passer-by was being accosted. Actually, they didn't even wait to be passed by - they were yelling up and down the street and even trying to stop passing cyclists. In about an hour they made 2 pounds 65. Hope they don't follow Ohna's example - apparently she used to gather up lots of her mum's things and try to sell them.

(They're giving the money to 'Action For Kids', btw - Kiloh's favourite charity).
