Book Worm and Book Share this week

 Book Worm, from Rebecca

This month's book was enjoyed by all and found to be one of those ones that will stay with you. All sorts of issues discussed including nature vs nature, family dynamics and what can we do to help these people?

Other booked recommended this month:-

The color Purple by Alice Walker

A terrible kindness by Jo Browning Wroe and

Miss Bensons Beetle by Rachel Joyce (with I think Bookshare had recently but enjoyed this month by me!)

If you'd like to join us we still have spaces in our friendly group. This month's book is "The bread the devil knead" by Lisa Allen-Agostini

Book Share from Jayne Stone

Love Bookshare. Lovely afternoon, complete with chocolate profiteroles and cream. diet, what diet?
Book to discuss was Testament of Youth. Not universally liked but some positive comments.

Bookshare also discussed theatre - the literary festival and the murder mystery tea (8/7 if you’d like to join us), and TV Agatha Christie’s England (ITVX) the Black Death one by Lucy Worsley, one by Dan Snow.

Having decided the book for the month was of its time we were able to talk about so many other books. The second sight of Zachery Cloudesley (Sean Lusk), Mrs England by Stacey Halls, Still Life by Sarah Winman (better known for When God was a Rabbit).

Guilty Man by Helen H Durrant

If we read everything recommended in Bookshare we’d have enough for the year.
Series by Nora Roberts, Lynn Truss, Richard Osmond, SJ Bennet, Adam Kay, Adriana Trigiani

News from NFWI

 

The WI (National Federation of Women's Institutes)

  · 

NFWI Public Affairs Chair, Nicky Amos attended the launch of the Great British Spring Clean event in Parliament on Tuesday. Nicky is photographed with KBT CEO Alison Ogden-Newton OBE.

The WI founded Keep Britain Tidy from a resolution in 1954, calling for a campaign to ‘preserve the countryside against desecration by litter.’ This resolution subsequently led to the formation of the Keep Britain Tidy group.

The Great British Spring Clean will take place from 17 March to 2 April, and you can pledge to pick up a bag of litter and eliminate waste from today!

“Do you belong to a craft group, wi group, or have a large group of friends who would like to get together for a fused glass workshop.

As well as the 6 person workshops I put on in my studio, I am able to travel to you at your venue of choice. If you are interested and would like more information please message me.

For us the cost would be £30 each, not including room hire (or the travel costs of the tutor from Plymouth). We could make three dream catchers or some bunting in a three hour session.

Please let Jayne know.
