PEACEHAVEN WI: On a warm sunny day we welcomed one visitor to the July meeting, after which a report was given on our visit to the multi-award winning garden Driftwood, entirely created by Geoff Stonebanks. Amazingly he has 800 plants in a relatively small space, plus many artefacts hidden amongst the flowers. We were served with tea, coffee and delicious cakes, all made by Geoff.

We were later given an account of a visit to Denman College by one of our members who had studied the art of Blackwork Stitching. Very intricate but the result was most pleasing.

The afternoon speaker, Ann Chance OBE told us that when she was 9 years old she was given a book about Buffalo Bill which sparked off a longing to journey to the Rockies and elsewhere in the USA to take part in cattle driving. She was wearing her ‘cowgirl’ outfit complete with boots and spurs. At 64 she eventually started learning to ride a horse which resulted in many hilarious activities. However, she did finally realise her goal and did six cattle drives, which again gave us many laughs at her adventures. We marvelled at her courage and tenacity at what would appear to be a strenuous experience.

No meeting in August, the next is September 5. Se you then. (Joy Allen).
