WI Newsletter – July 2005
Before their summer break, the members of Abbotts Ann were cast adrift on a desert island – where they could take time to ponder on their favourite books, music and food amongst other things. Does this sound a welcome relief from the rush tear of modern life – well it did to them as well. …
