I feel written up after the last entry! So I'll just say that we held another Book Group session when we discussed Zoe Heller's Notes on a Scandal which was well received. Some people had been to see the film but others didn't want to because they had enjoyed the book too much. I remember feeling like that about Cold Mountain. I thought the portrayal of the school staffroom (not Cold Mountain of course) was brilliant. I am sure Judi Dench was a marvellously sinister older teacher.We discussed why it was seen as more reprehensible for an older woman to take up with a young boy than the other way round... or is it?
April 3rdAnother WI Group meeting where we were entertained very professionally with monologues and sketches. The only props consisted of selection of hats. Everyone enjoyed the occasion and laughed a lot.
April 4thLocal WI meeting was a musical event when a lady who had lately become blind talked about her life playing the violin and how the instrument was helping her to face the future with a positive attitude.A very gifted and strongwilled character who filled the audience with admiration and made them laugh too.
