Tuesday 28th July – 12th Meeting of 2020

Due to the coronavirus that has swept the country we Freedom Ladies have not been able to meet to walk or visit a museum or even having a coffee, because of the strong restriction rules that have been in place since March. As we are all older ladies and classed as vulnerable we have been particularly keeping within the rules. But as rules changed and we were allowed to meet outside, one of our ladies kindly invited us to her garden. The weather this summer has been lovely hot and sunny and it has certainly made lockdown easier to bear.

Not all our group could meet up due to illness and other commitments. I, for one was really looking forward to seeing the ladies and although we have kept in touch with a Whats app group, email, texts and telephone, nothing can beat seeing friends face to face and chatting. We all arrived at two o’clock and sat, socially distancing, of course, in her beautiful large garden with the sun shining. The colours and variety of flowers and plants looked lovely and the birds flying in the trees completed the picture. She gave us tea and scones with jam and cream that she has baked. There was also cakes that a few of the ladies had baked and brought for us, so we were really spoilt! They all tasted delicious.

Needless to say we were all chat, chatting as there was much to catch up with but alas the conversation repeatedly was about the coronavirus and the restrictions, the statistics etc. We were all pleased to hear that all our families are coping well with the situation and are all fit and well.

It was really so nice to be sitting in the garden in the sun. We had a second cup of tea and also another piece of the delicious cakes provided.

When we all left we all said how nice to see each other again and hoping that things will soon get better and we can meet again in the near future.
