WI Newsletter – February 2009

WI Newsletter – July 2008
No wonder we all need a rest in August – the diary was particularly full this month. It began with an Indian Cookery demonstration kindly hosted by Aileen Catterson in her much-envied kitchen and then just three days later we were being guided around the historic streets of the Hyde Abbey area in Winchester.
