Hello, and thank you for visiting my site. I hope that you'll return often and always find something of interest about my world and what inspires me to pick up a pen. (This is a figure of speech, unfortunately. My handwriting is terrible!) Here's what I've been up to recently...
What a weekend!
Hardly a moment spent at my desk this weekend, as it was taken up with attending fundraisers for two of Ripon’s good causes.
Saturday saw me at a garden party on the lawn behind the Old Deanery. Held to raise funds for the ‘Save our Trees’ campaign, it offered afternoon tea, musical entertainment and a talk on the importance of saving ancient trees. The trees currently in danger are the ones that would be cut down if plans for a large new building to house extra facilities for Ripon Cathedral go ahead. No one is against our cherished cathedral having what it needs. The argument is purely over the location.
On Sunday I was at a ceilidh hosted by the Claro Lounge in support of Ripon Men’s Shed. A buffet supper was included in the ticket price and much fun was had by all who attended. It was the first time I’d ventured out to dance since my foot surgery last year, so I prudently paired my black and white outfit with trainers and found that I was far from alone in that. Despite the best efforts of the caller, there is always a degree of chaos and high heels would definitely not have been a good idea!
