One of numerous tea parties around the country in aid of the hospice movement was held at The Nurse’s Cottage restaurant and guest accommodation in Sway, New Forest.
On hand for the occasion were two special visitors: The Mad Hatter took charge of proceedings – and Alice came too, from the Alice in Wonderland theme park near Bournemouth International Airport.
Visitors mixed with villagers while The Mad Hatter entertained as only he could – and the dormouse slept through it all!
The sum of £50 was raised for Oakhaven Hospice in Lymington.
