A lovely walk, we can’t believe how warm it is for November. We are so lucky the walks we have directly from our house. We have orchards everywhere but there are also cabbages and cauliflowers in a few of the fields.
We met another of our neighbours this morning, she was dog walking too. She had just returned from India where she sources all the clothing and goods for their company Mantra.
We then went to Westwood for Mal to collect his contact lenses. It was the opticians in Tesco and prior to Christmas they always have new, very cheap glasses just for the festive season. So, yes, I ordered a pair for reading. They have my prescription there from July.
The Village Society had a meeting in the evening. It’s a nice evening in the pub, nothing too formal in fact the end of the agenda often gets lost after a few drinks! Nothing like our SOS meetings used to be in Cyprus. In fact along with the other girls on that committee we were so well organised. I think we all loved helping SOS, particularly the outreach families and just hope we made a difference where it was really needed.
The VS is really about organising social events within the village and encourages a bit of community spirit. There are several other organisations in the village but this one suits us as it is a relaxed affair. I was asked about becoming clerk to the Parish council and said yes initially as I thought they were desperate. I have now been told it is going out to advert and I should apply. Having seen the job description and the pay, I don’t think so!! It was interesting that Lidl’s have their rate of pay on a big poster in the shops. Their pay is more than the clerk to the parish council!!! I’ll stick to volunteering, I don’t work for that sort of money!! Interestingly Mal showed an interest in being a member of the Parish council. We were in Cyprus the first meeting he was asked to attend. Now it seems that there are others interested and so they have had to write a “CV” of sorts. I can’t believe how long it is taking to make a decision, another reason I no longer consider being “clerk”, I’m not impatient but I do like to get things done!
At least during the meeting we organised the most important thing, a VS Christmas meal which we will be having in the same pub at the same table we have our meetings, in the “snug” and to bring along a secret santa pressie.
