Didn't we have a lovely time in Leeds?


Last Saturday, 11 Circlers past and present from Radlett (and Nicola's mum, Kate, from Cheshire) ventured north to Leeds to attend the UK & Ireland Ladies' Circle 70th Charter Lunch along with 700 other Circlers from around the UK. We arrived to find a rose plant each as a present - a lovely but not terribly practical gift, given the number of us wearing tights! We also got an engraved champagne flute, choccies, sweeties and a bracelet with a pretty handbag pendant on it.

The food was good, the wine was excellent and the fun was even better. The guest speaker was the father of the Walton sextuplets who entertained us with tales of living with 7 women; astonishingly, his wife and he are still married and have all 6 daughters (now aged 22) living at home with them.

It was a great day spent in great company - here's to the next 70 years!
