I have never been not even sure if there is one in this area as I don't know anyone who goes but it sounds like you have fun.<br />In Scotland they have a thriving local Womens Rural where the meetings get reported in the local paper. They have a little competition each meeting for the best something or other - seems like the same 3 women win each time but in a different order!wherethejourneytakesmehttps://wherethejourneytakesme2.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-31634640232095825752018-11-21T08:15:42.353+00:002018-11-21T08:15:42.353+00:00I've just glanced at them in WI life, so will ...I've just glanced at them in WI life, so will have another look and decide.
