Four groups of members met for our first social six of 2026. A chance for members to get to know each other better over a coffee
In February we learnt the art of willow weaving with Martin from Rutland Willows, making a fish and a dragonfly
In February twelve of us travelled to Leicester to visit the Jewry Wall museum, a fascinating museum with a very good cafe! In March we held a sea-glass craft session, with our main event being the popular fund-raising fashion show with members selling tickets, serving drinks and modelling the clothes.
In April twelve members completed the treasure trail around Lyddington followed by lunch at the Orchard Cafe.
Thirteen members took part in our annual amble to see the bluebells in Barsdale Woods. We were lucky to have a warm sunny day and the carpet of bluebells was beautiful. Two additional members joined us for coffee and a chat. A lovely sociable morning.
Four members enjoyed a four mile walk from Borrough Court through beautiful Leicestershire countryside.
We ended May with a guided amble at Merry's Meadow, enjoying seeing the orchids, butterflies and birds.
