Nafferton
W.I.
Several stalwart members (and the speaker) braved the gales of Wednesday, February 12 for their usual monthly meeting.
Despite being wet, cold, and windswept they set to, organising everything for the evening with enthusiasm.
That lasted until around 7.15pm when all the lights went out - apparently all the village was now without power.
Concerned husbands and partners soon appeared with torches and after consultation Vice-President Pat Birch (deputising for President Heather Winn, sunning herself in Madeira !) took the decision to cancel the meeting. Hopefully, we will be able to hear about ‘Bags for Malawi’ at a later date.
Everyone thankfully made their way home through the storm and the dark. Given a lift by a kind member and her husband I was escorted down my drive, she lighting my way with her torch. I put my key in the lock - and the lights went on!
With heating and light restored, some power-cut comfort food (hot chocolate and crumpets - try it!) went a long way towards soothing the disappointment and upheaval.
We look forward to our next meeting being a little less traumatic.
