I live in rural mid-Wales where WI is a lifeline and until last October was federation chairman, then stepped down as a trustee after 8 years. I think it was inevitable that WIs would have to postpone meetings given the fact that the main demographic is in the elderly & vulnerable group (I am myself - just!) There'd be nothing to stop WIs meeting more than once a month when the situation calms down - even if it's just a social get-together to swap stories or an informal quiz so members can learn something! I've always found that if a speaker's talk sounds as though it will be boring it proves otherwise. My worst WI meeting was when members watched one person have her feet "done" during a reflexology session. I intend to sew, knit and get into the garden which needs a revamp - looks as though it will get it now. Good luck, keep blogging!jeanbythestreamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12035971858455810315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-37435708376996922202020-03-18T17:17:27.690+00:002020-03-18T17:17:27.690+00:00I enjoyed hearing about these two meetings althoug...I enjoyed hearing about these two meetings although I can understand them shutting down for the moment. I've always been interested in natural dyeing and that talk sounds quite good. The second talk sounds good too as Kipling was an interesting person.<br /><br />You are such an excellant blogger and writer I'm sure you will come up with many subjects.

I also did a little bit when I was dyeing my own cross stitch material. It's interesting the colours things turn out. I might give it a go again one day - add it to the list of things I'd like to do lol. <br /><br />Hope you enjoy your day.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03039174572211086359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-298909986556665692020-03-18T10:51:15.168+00:002020-03-18T10:51:15.168+00:00I've been to Batemans - twice, I think.

As it's a strong organisation it should be able to weather this storm and pick up where it left off when things are back to normal, hopefully. I did watch a TV drama about Kipling a few years ago, so knew about his son (who was played by Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter)). It gave me the impression that he bullied his son into joining the WW1 as he didn't want to go. Just a little snippet, did you know that the Kipling bags (I have several) were named after Rudyard Kipling and the gorilla bag emblem is from The Jungle Book? <br /><br />Joan (Devon)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-11452236190592016082020-03-18T09:49:19.424+00:002020-03-18T09:49:19.424+00:00I like Kirsten's idea!

Need something to keep my brain ticking over and stopping me cheating by looking up the starter word in my Codeword book!!<br /><br />The Kipling talk sounded very interesting. He must have been destroyed by the sense of causing his son's death . . . Batemans is somewhere I would love to visit. <br /><br />I would have LOVED that talk on Dyeing too. It's something I keep saying, I'd love to do that, but apart from brief experiments with Elderberries (reverts to a dirty grey!), onions and Goldenrod, I am still threatening to do it!Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-84080815149297646782020-03-18T09:08:25.849+00:002020-03-18T09:08:25.849+00:00How about a quiz as a blog post?

Our horticultural society will have to cancel meetings and certainly the spring show. As most of the members seem to be over seventy, I wonder who would have the will and the energy to start it up again? Not me, for sure. This is sad but seems inevitable, just another casualty of events those of us born after the war have never had to deal with before. callmemadamhttps://callmemadam.livejournal.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-90580050448839143092020-03-18T07:44:56.926+00:002020-03-18T07:44:56.926+00:00Hi Sue, it is such a shame that W.I. has stopped a...Hi Sue, it is such a shame that W.I. has stopped as meetings are a lifeline to many and can be fun. My fathers favourite poem was “If” by Rudyard Kipling and we had it read at his funeral. I think he was fond of it because it was his father’s favourite too.<br />I have been tied up as Chairman of my choir with cancelling rehearsals and concerts, emergency committee meetings to organise to pay pianists while we are not singing and sorting out insurances. All boring but vital if we are to continue after this all goes away. Also setting up a private Facebook group for choir members to keep in touch and keep the spirits up.<br />Hopefully we will be able to be in the garden regularly soon. Did you see that the National Trust is allowing free access to gardens and parks? That should help people get exercise but not mix closely.<br />I am self isolating with my husband and need to get a regular schedule organised for cleaning, resting and relaxation. My plan for today is cleaning the downstairs cloakroom and kitchen and then some knitting.<br />Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17769428408767311874noreply@blogger.com
