On Monday it was our Womens Institute 29th birthday so we had a party. I have never been in England in January before so it was all new to me. Apparently in the past, 30 people have shared a packet soup and a few cheese and biscuits. Because thats what they have always done!
Anyway a few of us younger elements decided that this year it would be different. We had Jacket Potatoes with Tuna and Cheese, Lemon Meringue pie and cream and entertainment.We also provided Sherry and red or white wine etc. There was a birthday cake and chocolates and I thoroughly enjoyed it. However it was a late night and we had to get up early the next morning to go to Sheffield.
Up early, I thought it was too early to let the girls out as it wasn't really sunrise yet. However when I looked out of the window there they were pecking away! I had forgotten to lock them up the night before!!
We went to Sheffield on business which involved a book company. The manager allowed me to choose some books and I got some really nice ones.
Then we went to Sonia and Michaels for lunch, and they did us proud, Smoked Salmon etc.
Then to Grahams brother Joe. Where we talked about the cruise they are soon to go on.
We were home around six. Then there was another accident. A policewoman had flipped her police car over in our neighbours front garden. That is the fourth accident on our road in the last two months. Everyone drives so very fast and they wonder why they can't make it round the bends. No one has been killed yet but it's only a matter of time. My neighbour went out to an accident last year and the man on the back seat of the car was so drunk that he didn't realise that his arm had been severed and was lying in her front garden! He was a professional guitarist so that put paid to him I guess!
Anyway, enough doom and gloom, Obama has made it to the white house and Rosa Parkes would have been so happy!
love Sheila xx

Where the chickens out all night or do they have access to the hut. It would have been cold.
