Small world

Last week, I was with the Textile Treasures in Harrogate and not only met someone who was at college with me but also another WI member who'd attended the same grammar school in Hull. Still bemused by these encounters, another "small world" moment arose last night at Avening WI's 77th birthday meeting.

We spent a super evening in the company of Mike and Pat Ledbury, from Inkberrow in Worcestershire, also known as "Morning Dew". After enjoying Mike's folk music and some interesting folk tales, accompanied by Pat on drum, we celebrated the 77th birthday of Avening WI with something a little stronger than tea this month. Chatting to Pat, I happened to mention I'd been at Castle Tump WI the previous night, and what a terrific bunch of women they were. Just as well I'd found them so - Pat's sister Gill ("Our Gillian") is their secretary!

Just illustrates that we need to be careful what we say - we never know who we are speaking to!
