Shelford WI ladies July 2022 update

On a beautiful evening on 7th July our W.I. ladies met in the Parochial gardens behind the Hectares,to visit the newly planted fruit bushes and trees that will in time be of great value to the allotment holders and those visiting the orchards, and those living in the almshouses that are being constructed in those meadows. We met several gardeners tending their plots that evening and observed several trains passing in the evening sunshine. We walked through the pathways between the plots full of vegetables and fruits and observed the butterflies and moths that have naturalized with the wild flowers throughout. What a wonderful village we live in, and a privilege to share in our community. Whilst our normal numbers were slightly down due to holidays and the Feast week, we enjoyed our social time and picnic, drew the raffle and finalised plans for the federation lunch and our boat trip, with cream tea soon to be enjoyed in August. Our normal meetings that take place in St. Mary’s community hall will resume on September 1st when we will welcome Margaret Johnson and her talk entitled “Small is Beautiful” – an evening of Patchwork quilting. Our October meeting will educate us on “British Sign Language”. Visitors are most welcome to these evenings. Enjoy the summer Rosemary Livings – President.
