The March lunch was held at The Norton Dog. A lovely meal, in great company. Thanks to Gill for organising another excellent lunch.

APRIL 6TH 2022 – VISIT TO THE NEWMARKET STUD
A full coach of girls headed to the stud on a rather windy and dismal April morning, not really outdoor visitor weather. Our lovely driver Stephen got us to our venue on time where we were warmly greeted by our highly knowledgeable guide Nigel. The coach drove us round all the incredible estate stopping at various points for us to get a close up view of the most beautiful horses and foals. It was a truly amazing and wonderful place to visit. Many thanks to Karen and Tracy for organising the trip, not forgetting the very welcome booked lunch and hot drink at the premises café.

APRIL 14TH 2022 – FOR THE LOVE OF FOOD
It was another fab evening in the life of Pakenham WI. Maria Broadbent was not only a great speaker but a fabulous cook. This delightful lady filled the village hall with the most delicious smells of the Mediterranean as she expertly demonstrated the cuisine of her BSE Casa restaurant, whilst telling the life story of her love of cooking. We look forward to episode 2 at Casa in May.
My sincere thanks to everyone for a truly great evening.
