WI members have been busy!

 Lots of our members have had a very busy time in the garden this summer, and we must have accounted for many of the appointments at the tip, between us all! Plants have been swapped, purchased, bulbs planted and shrubs cut back. Our local garden centres have done well from Brixham WI! 

Tina has been honing her sourdough bread baking skills to perfection and Hilary, having only recently taken up knitting, has been set a particularly tricky task of knitting some fingerless gloves - with the little cover - for her grandchildren! Sally, thinking to move house, is having to keep up that Ideal Home standard in readiness for potential viewers - such a strain! The ladies at our friendly bowling club have completely and  beautifully redecorated the inside of the clubhouse, much to the surprise of their husbands, so I hear! Wendy Mac has been taking some of the Denman at Home paper craft courses, Sally and Tina have learned some new recipe techniques, and Tina has done a couple of sewing courses. I did one on faux calligraphy and a dressmaking session. Wendy C has been swimming, keeping up with her embroidery and enjoying the community spirit in her road thanks to the lockdown coffee mornings they started back in March. 

I have been trying some paper crafts which I used to do with the children when they were small - more than 20 years ago! My papier-mâché bowls still need a coat of varnish! 

And the recycled paper is improving in quality with each new sheet!

Have you been trying something new? Improving on a long forgotten skill? Let me know!
