Remember
this lovely garden party at Pam Lack’s?
It was 2012 would you believe?
Did
anyone have a socially distanced street party on Friday for VE day?
Hadden
Close had a party with lots of bunting and everyone social distancing along the
pavement with their cakes and their favourite tipple. Tim had the old time music on and I had them
all singing songs like ‘We’ll meet again’ of course!
Dear
members.
Wednesday
May 6th was a great milestone for our committee, we held our meeting Via Zoom,
It was a great success apart from a couple of hiccups, we were very pleased
with ourselves.
I am sure
you must all be as disappointed as the committee are that our Centenary party
has had to be cancelled, unfortunately the committee has also decided after
much deliberation, to cancel the catering for the special garden party that was
planned for August as it will be very hard to keep to social distancing.
As nobody
can foresee when larger gatherings will be allowed, the meetings have been
cancelled for June and July. Before September hopefully we will have more
information on how we can go forward for the rest of the year.
I am
delighted to inform you that we have received a letter of congratulations from
the Queen on our Centenary, I was told via a phone call from Buckingham Palace
that the Queen only send cards to people who are 100years old however we could
have an anniversary letter from her, a lovely memory for us and something for
the archives that some form of life continued during the Covid 19 virus.
Regards Pam.
Hopefully
we have all survived another month of lockdown, and Boris announced some
lifting of the restrictions this weekend.
‘Stay alert’ is the new buzz phrase not sure what that means! I have
managed to keep upright and do a little light gardening and my back has not
protested! Still doing the exercises and
going for daily walks, and I hope you are all keeping active too.
Update
about Liz Bussey, after being hit by the van in January she was told no bones
broken. However the Doctors have finally
reviewed her xrays as she was still complaining of a great deal of pain and
surprise surprise the decision is that she has a cracked hip socket which is
not healing properly and a hip replacement is recommended. We wish her well and hope that finally she
can be on the way to recovery.
I forgot
to mention 2 birthdays last month
