Our Resolutions Work!

An article in The Times today about Tesco’s decision to remove the ‘best before’ dates on their fruit and veg highlights the WI’s successful campaign against food waste:

Tesco’s decision to move away from “best before” dates follows intense lobbying by the Women’s Institute. Polling by the group found that less than half of respondents understood the meaning of “best before” labels while more than 70 per cent understood “use by” dates.

As if we didn’t already know that our resolutions are worthwhile, here is proof! Stand up and be noticed! 

May Madness at our Birthday Party!

The president welcomed everyone to the birthday party.

Good friends, charming visitors, good food, football quiz, daft hats and lots of laughter.

Overall a very enjoyable afternoon
(Editor’s note: we welcomed guests from Galmpton and Stoke Gabriel, of whom I have not included photos as I forgot to ask their permission to do so! They made a rather delightful hat, and an elegant cigarette in a holder, after the style of Princess Margaret or Audrey Hepburn!) 

This was left after the first round...... what a spread! 

We were given crepe paper, ribbons and some flowers and each table made a hat to wear to the upcoming Royal wedding! 

Sugarcraft workshop raises the bar!

Well! All I can say is wow! Here are some photos taken at the sugarcraft workshop yesterday:

Gorgeous!
