The British Club enjoyed tea at the home of Sheelagh Simpson
Twink Gates-Zimdar
On Saturday, April 26 it seemed like British weather had come to SaddleBrooke! It was a blustery, overcast day and threatening rain; not like the lovely sunny days we usually enjoy here. Quite a fitting day for the eleven ladies from the British Club to enjoy their Coffee Morning and Book Exchange at the lovely home of Sheelagh Simpson. Sheelagh served delicious goodies – poppy seed and blueberry muffins, homemade chocolate bread and an array of cookies accompanied by coffee and of course, not forgetting, hot tea! It was good to get together and swap stories and welcome a new member. As usual, a good time was had by all.
Thank you very much, Sheelagh, for hosting this fun event.
