Working together but apart!

 Our February working together but apart first project has begun! Barbara Lawrence had the idea of us picking up litter, and Tina Hemmings has started! Woo hoo! One whole bag full from half of the lane between Windmill Close and Rose Acre.

Let us know where you have started!
#Showthelove and take your litter home, please!

#Show the Love

 February is the month when the WI supports the #ShowtheLove campaign which highlights the need for us to look after our environment. Green hearts are made and shared to encourage people to be more aware and take more care of where they live and the places they love.

Our working together but apart February is to make some green hearts! Below are some heart crochet patterns; here are my scraps of fabric being sewn together to make some hearts! Maybe you prefer to knit? Or paint green hearts on shells or pebbles? Or make some card or paper hearts?

February’s first zoom!

 We had another fab zoom today! It was great to see Yvonne Deane, who has only just learned how to zoom - she did get it all working, even though not in this picture! Thank you to Jayne Stone and her Mum Margaret for their taxing but excellent quiz! Next week is going to be a ‘Would I lie to you?’ session! start preparing your stories! Tina Hemmings has kindly offered to do a quiz, too.

Could this be something we are interested in doing together but apart? 🤔

 Can I heartily recommend you to watch Craftivism on BBC 4, presented by Jenny Eclair? https://www.bbc.co.uk/.../craftivism-making-a-difference

Bearing in mind that this is the time when the WI is focussed on the Show the Love campaign, making green hearts....

Working Together but Apart

 Hold on to your hats! Would you look at the results of our working together but apart project! This just in from Wendy Mackenzie


, who has collected and delivered for us:

a magnificent 52 scarves and 28 hats plus donations of 24 pairs of socks and four pairs of gloves.
❤️ Wow Brixham WI members and friends! You are amazing!

This is what happens to your WI subscription.

Something funny and something of interest!

 This is for all of the folk who are missing out on the fun and the warm community that is FaceBook!


These two were published by NHS in Scotland, aimed at helping children to deal with stress and anxiety. I think we all come into the category of children, in this case, and can find some good ideas here.
