A message from Hannie: – “I’m due to start work on the Spring newsletter – and I need your help”
After two themed newsletters, this time around I’m hoping to do a roundup of what has been happening over the past few months. If something special has happened – let me know! And if you took a photo, send it along. I’m also happy to welcome book reviews, recipes, travel stories. Email or phone me.
September/October Birthdays: A big thank you to Ruth and Bruce who have offered to host this birthday occasion. The date will be in October, so watch this space for the details. If you haven’t been to a birthday celebration before, please do consider it. It is lovely to share hospitality in a smaller group.
