Babushka Boxes
Thank you to all the members who brought up their Babushka and Dadushka shoeboxes for collection. Our guild member, Monica Daffy, was very pleased to accept a full car load of shoeboxes to go to Belarus.
Hillwalking Group
The hillwalking group enjoyed a lovely late-November autumnal walk in Massey’s Wood; weather was perfect for walking and the scenery was heartlifting. The walk was then followed by coffee and scones in Timbertrove, which is well set up for outdoor snacking.
The next walk will be on December 14th, weather permitting. Details from Rachel Gillen. All ICA Marlay members are welcome to join this group.
