Just a day at home (WI relevant!)

Good day so far.   Visit from Sparks of Leigh on Mendip WI who brought over my bag which went home with a sales box by mistake - enjoyed a good chat over coffee : WI/ACWW etc.
Then the postman came -  what has he brought today:  ACWW/WI items:

1.  a parcel from Iceland from my ACWW penfriend with birthday wishes-  a necklace made by her husband of 'Boggalidur' from under the sea volcanic material!!  Bet you didn't know that!!  and.... a little troll plus a letter and postcard map showing Mjoll's home.   Must take to WI next week!!

2.  A book called 'Wizzing round Britain' by Zippy Nomad - saw it advertised in the ACWW magazine - all profits to ACWW - a book about visits to over 100 WIs - she quotes Carole, our County Chair!  So be careful what you write in County News  it could travel far.   Also she talks about her visit to Burnham on Sea WI and a talk by Veronica, WIA.    Ah ......  we need Zippy Nomad to visit more WIs in Somerset!!
More about the book - a quote:  'Wherever I go in the world, if I meet another WI member I know I have met a friend'  from Pat,  of North Cave WI (not sure where that is BUT I'll find out when I read the book).   It tells you lots about WIs and ACWW so is going to be very interesting.  Something else to take to WI.

What will happen during the rest of the day .......................................................
