......a nice relaxing evening of decorating glass bottles, with a decoupage design, and finishing off with lights. With a cup of tea and a slice of homemade cake, good company, it was another successful WITCH night.
Gosh our members do get around and have had very interesting lives. One of our members who was going to lead us in Tai Chi this meeting, had a last minute invitation to Canada and so off she went - who can blame her! So instead, we had another of our globe-trotting members talk about her life in New Zealand. As a young qualified medical professional in the late 1950s, she went on her own to take a job in New Zealand. 4 weeks to get there by ship, thrust into a culture she knew little of, she took it all in her stride and remained there till the 1980s. Along the way, living in basic tin huts, tramping up hills & mountains, getting married, having children and living a lifestyle that was very hard work but also seems to have been tremendous fun. Another truly fascinating insight into our members' personal history and an inspiring story to start our year.
