April Craft Afternoon!

 Thanks to Barbara for organising a fun afternoon, from Loz’s idea to paint some pebbles! We began by concentrating very hard, and then started discussing all kinds of things which turned into a fair bit of laughter! #loveourWI 

Some of these pebbles will find their way to various spots in Brixham. Keep your eyes open!

Book Worm report from Rebecca

On Friday bookworms met at Berry Head Hotel and enjoyed the lovely weather and views for our chat. Our boom was the whalebone theatre by Joanna Quinn and was very much enjoyed by all. A little wordy and unsure on the first half of the book, the second half set in World War II was very good especially as it was her first novel. After that we had great discussions on the town murals, crafting, children/grandchildren and finally air fryers- are they worth it and what do you cook in them! Other books enjoyed-

City of lies Ramita Navai

William Boyd books

And Wayward by Emilia Hart
