Highworth History Walk

Fourteen WI ladies had a very interesting guided talk and walk this morning around Highworth, an amazing amount of history of both Highworth, the buildings and the people who have helped make it the place it is today. Well worth the trip, Thanks to Cathy for organising.

Welcome to Gill, thanks ladies for a lovely afternoon of tea, chat and delicious bits and pieces 😁. We had butternut squash soup, pizza, beetroot humus with crisps or crackers, blackberry sorbet and gluten and dairy free Dorset apple cake. I’m so glad I didn’t have lunch 😆. We also put the world 🌍 to rights why more could you ask for ?

Next meeting Monday 9th Nov, 2pm, PM for venue. Theme Greek 🇬🇷. We are not all Cordon Bleu chefs 😄, just ordinary ladies who enjoy food 😃 there is no pressure, I often take stuff that hasn’t quite worked out 🤨and everyone enjoys it, just come along and give it a try.

No need to bring anything, but all donations great fully accepted.

Very well attended and enjoyable meeting last night. Amy Levin gave an interesting talk on her love of chocolate making, letting us taste the cocoa nibs in a variety of stages during the chocolate making process. Then trying samples in case we wanted to buy some. She also has a website which you can see her full ranges and order from. Interestingly a lot of it is dairy and gluten free and even if I say so delicious 😁 especially the dark chocolate with sour cherries & vanilla. We are also giving the proceeds of the raffle and a box collection totalling £121.40 to Breast Cancer Now.

Well done to all our wonderful knitters. We delivered 95 baby knitted hats to the maternity unit at Great Western Hospital, they were delighted and said how beautiful they were.

Our next walk on Tues 15th Sept is from Astall Manor where the Mitfords grew up, along the Windrush valley to the fascinating church in Swinbrook where some of the family are buried and then on to the little church at Widford with its medieval wall paintings. It is about 4 miles long, pretty flat with several stiles. We’ll go for coffee at Burford Garden Centre. Meet as usual - 9.30 at the hall with £3 to cover petrol.

Wonderful walk today around Rodborough Common, the views were amazing and although it was cloudy and a bit windy it was quite warm 😁. Lunch at The Bear was really good, they even had nice gluten free bread, and the chips were delicious 😄. It was quite a long way to go but definitely worth it and with lunch it made a great day out.

Next walk Tuesday 18th September, Asthall to Swinbrook. Meet at the Memorial Hall 9.30 for car share, £3 cash towards petrol,
details to follow.
