The May Day Fete at St. Peter's Aldborough Hatch attracted record crowds this year in spite of uncertainty about the weather. Some visitors arrived in warm sunshine whilst others had to dash through heavy downpours of rain. Popular as ever were the homemade cake and preserve stalls, whilst the bedding plants were snapped up - although buyers were warned not to plant outdoors until after 19th May - the date when local farmers say that the last frosts are likely to occur.
