The cat sat on the mat...

You wouldn’t believe what goes on in the filthy minds of WINGs ladies. Asked why , when 2 cats on mats were separated by a front door, one looked happy and the other looked grumpy, one response was that one of the cats was in heat. Not what you expect from the W.I.

We had loads of fun tonight with pics of scary monsters, and smiley happy little boats and their friends and learned a bit about why not to marry a children’s illustrator if you want to make sure your mortgage gets paid! Many thanks to Thomas Docherty http://www.thomasdocherty.co.uk/ for sharing the secrets of his trade with us, and allowing us a little bit of playtime as we drew our own illustrations for what can now be our now secret catchphrase ‘Eating beans on toast makes me happy!’ 

Clare Blackwell gave us an update on the proposed new area in Keynsham around the library and clock tower having been coerced into giving up an afternoon of her time to go and attend some workshops and consultation exercises on our behalf. And Sandra Parfitt shared her experience of a W.I. day out at the Winter Gardens in Weston at the Avon Federation AGM. (top tip – don’t go to the pier for your afternoon tea – the tea shop’s closed)
