Book Share report from Jayne

 Interesting debate on this month’s book, Blood and Sugar by Laura Shepherd Robinson. Nobody really liked the storyline but people were drawn into the book, a sign if a good writer. Some of the discussion revolved around the list of characters at the front with supporters and opponents.

Three books were highly recommended,

The Swift and the Harrier by Minette Walters,

Carrying Albert Home by Homer Hickam (all true except the parts which aren’t)

Gilead by Marilynne Robinson.

If you fancy and afternoon chat, focussed on books and related topics, there is space on Bookshare. Just let Jayne know

Bookshare travelled down memory lane. On BBC Sounds you can find the Navy Lark and Gambits by Eley Williams You TV is showing Whitstable Pearl and Sister Boniface. Members travels have taken them to old haunts, with differing outcomes.

Other recommendations from Bookshare include the Joe Pickett and Hoyt/ Dewell series by C. J. Box as well as Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus

Craft Afternoon

 Thank you Ann P for the photos.

Advance warning!

 Sunday 28th July - next Sunday - is our picnic at the green next to the car park at Berry Head! Bring your picnic, chairs (there are a few picnic tables and benches already there), bring your partner/friend and your well behaved pet! 

Sad news of a former WI member

 Hi Brixham WI. 

We at Uffculme WI wanted to let you know about the sad death of Joan Collins. A member of Uffculme WI for many years and previously of Brixham WI. There may not be many there that still remember her but she was a lovely lady with an amazing sense of humour and we thought it best to let you know. Regards, Ros - Secretary
