Hope you can all decide on your meal and let Ruth know on Tuesday!


It was a low turnout for Judy's talk at Woodbridge Library. Unfortunately bad weather and a bout of colds and flu zipping around didn't help. We are reliably informed by Morag that it was, once again, a brilliant talk and copies of Judy's book 'Like Ships That Pass In The Night', cost" £12.99. It is a fascinating read!

It is a long time since Kate was able to attend Scribblers but good news is that she has had a short story accepted for publication and details are still awaited. Kate has been spending her time oil painting and has also had some of her work accepted by local art galleries.

It is always nice to hear how our old friends are getting on so if you have any news please let us know.

Until then,

Keep Scribbling!
