Sunday 3 July 2022, Chiltern Welsh Society: Summer Lunch.
Venue: Di & Colin Thomas’ Windsor Road, Gerrards Cross.
Yet again the weather made its usual contribution to a most convivial get together. The gazebos were all in place and looked their sturdy best- thanks to Alan Longshaw and his team. Some 45 guests were quickly catching up on the major issues of the day – especially how Wales were robbed by an over zealous Georgian, – yes Georgian, referee, in their opening Test Match in South Africa. Covid continues as a subject of note, & indeed there were a few casualties on the day, – including our President- Ann Evans; get well soon Ann.
Colin Picton welcomed everyone, including a few new members. Good to see new faces and that they were all such help in the removal of tables and chairs- thank you & well done. As usual the meal was excellent and provided with a smile from the Company of “ To Dine For” ; in your absence Stephanie- they all did you proud. Colin & Di were enthusiastically thanked for hosting the event and looked most pleased with gifts of bouquet of flowers (for Colin) and a bottle of Barolo ( for Di) – only joking !
The rustic garden with mulberry tree, – plus apples and pears gradually ripening from their infancy added an appropriate background to a relaxing afternoon. The camaraderie was wonderfully evident and was most suitable for the 22nd Summer Lunch of the Society. The day was a real success as it was efficiently managed, in both preparation and delivery, by Kay Day .
The Committee is to be congratulated . Da iawn.
