VISITORS to a Wokingham church were pleased to find mice everywhere, during a mouse hunt.
But these weren’t pests, they were woolly creations conjured up by the talented members of a Mothers’ Union.
The animals were dotted around the churchyard and building of St Paul’s Church in Reading Road for families to find, before enjoying refreshments in the parish rooms.
The event on Saturday, July 17, was, according to Teri Austen, a joyous occasion.
“We didn’t know if the weather would be ideal, but it was all okay,” she said. “We were very pleased. It was just really nice to do something with the community again.
“People came along and said they really enjoyed it, and asked if we could do it every year. We said we are considering it.”
The children were able to take their mouse home as a souvenir of their hard work.
It wasn’t the only event at the church: on Sunday, the congregation gathered in the grounds to enjoy hymn singing with Pimm’s and other refreshments.
“It’s been a good weekend,” Mrs Austen said, “and the weather was kind.”
