Still in Lockdown - February 2021

Finally, there definitely is light at the end of the tunnel, with most of us
now having already had our first dose of the Coronavirus vaccine!

Performing and watching our Mini Zoom Panto
went a long way to cheering us all up.
Glam Jan takes the part of Cinderella.

The magic of Zoom brought Alan (Droopy Drawers) Young
to our screens, and at the end of the performance
the cast and audience all came together.

Later, Anne reveals herself from inside the magnificent sultan mask.
Anne: “Wearing him isn’t good for the hairstyle though!”

Jean Hurrell thanks us for the tulips we sent her for hosting our Zoom Mini Panto.

Maureen’s Art (which impresses us all) Maureen: “Having never painted before, I decided to enrol on an online watercolour course, I’ll never be great but it’s lovely to do and very relaxing. Here are a few of my early efforts.”

We’ve had some freezing weather and seen some spectacular sights!

Upcycling - Joanne’s Sewing Magic

Believe it or not, this top was once a skirt! (We’re loving the colour co-ordinated buttons and frill.)

Just as impressive… this skirt is made from a pair of trousers!
