Gardening Group Trip

Members of the Gardening group enjoyed a warm, sunny day trip to Renishaw Hall, viewing the long borders and the different “rooms” in the gardens

The white garden was particularly beautiful and scented too. The seven acres grow a variety of perennials and annuals in the woodland areas, memorial garden and more formal areas. The hydrangeas were in full flower as were the roses and other summer perennials.

The head gardener and volunteer gardeners were very knowledgeable and willing to share tips and ideas and names of unusual plants. Well worth a visit!

Fun with Languages

Our August meeting continued in French with finding our way about town, ordering train or boat tickets etc. It also included a few practice sentences to translate and a crossword puzzle on places in France. To those on holiday I sent out the relevant worksheets earlier so you shouldn’t miss out on anything.

Please can you practise THE song for the Christmas presentation (date to be confirmed)

Our next meeting will be on Thursday, October 12th, at 10.30 am in John Godber C entre, Byron suite.

NO MEETING IN SEPTEMBER.                          

Hope to see you in October, if not before!     

Ann and Liz.

    Watercolour Group

    The Hucknall watercolour group meets on the first Monday of the month except August and December, we meet at Titchfield court from 2.00-4.00pm

    The group usually has an outdoor session in August, this year we went by kind permission to Beauvale Priory to paint different aspects of the priory ruins. It was a small group but they all produced work to be proud of.
