Jan's afternoon out !

This graphic is one I found on offer this morning,Donna has been busy again ,go to my side bar and visit her ,she does the most amazing graphics,in fact instead of getting on with my entry today I've been looking at the above and marvelling on how she does it .

Well I know your dying to know how it went,yesterday !Well I got my self all ready ,I'd done Maurices pack up ,he was working the last of three nights ,didnt know how long I'd be .So off I went and knocked on Bettys door,We set off to be met at the end off the road ,another lady joined us,the transport arrived and off we went ,the short journey was pleasant the bushes either side the roads,were laden with spring blossom ,and the fields of rape were singing out that vibrant yellow ,we arrived at the 'Forty Foot'village hall ,so named because the village is built beside the drain of that name ,(must research this )Betty took me in and introduced me to the lady who appeared to be in charge ,very nice lady with slight Scottish accent .Betty went and sat with her friends I went and joined a lady ,who I'd smiled at in the shop a couple of times ! Cum ere  mate ! sit wiv us ! wots yer name ? I'm Shirley shes ,May and thats Nancy ,you'll be aw right wiv us ,we ave a laff we do ..not like sum o them old uns ... they ave some good stuff on ere tho.... cause some on its borin ..there was this bloke what wos talkin about Russia ooh ee went on ..the only good thing cum outer Russias the vodka !!.....then ther were this woman who adda arp ,she played it luvly

The chair person lady came over to me asked a few details like my birthday .abit about me ,and then ,would I like to join the committee!  we ell yes? And so the meeting began,there must have been about fifty elderly ladies and about six men,,and now ME ! The chairperson lady was on the stage ,wishing happy birthday to three ladies ,we all clapped ,she announcedthe deaths of two members !!!She then welcomed the new member ..moi!

And the entertainment for this afternoon is .....BINGO !Well if you.ve ever been a manager of an Elderly persons complex and had to call as many games off Tuddy bingo as I have ,you would know how much I hate bingo ,theres only one thing I hate more than bingo,and that is sticking pins in my eyes ,never mind some folk like it ,so off we go May won a box of tea bags ,Im pleased I didnt ,I only drink coffee,and Maurice didnt deserve a present ,for all his wise cracks ,,,teabags ! Pah

The afternoon redeemed it self ,then as little sandwiches as befitting a nice little afternoon tea,a home made sausage roll and a fairy cake ,with a cup of coffee,Then the treasurer/outings secretary arrived at our table collected up our pounds and asked would I like to join them on a trip to Oakham,in Lincolnshire,so I duly paid up ten pounds fifty for the trip and a cream tea ,on May 18th,and then would I like to go on the mystry trip in June ?Oh yes please .......So all in all it turned out not too bad ..I got chatting to one or two ladies and told them I'm interested in local History of the area ,and was promised some photographs to copy, some suggestions were made of places to visit ,so yes I shall go again and apparently they dont often play bingo... Hmm... some sort of initiation ceremony I wonder .........Have a lovely day everyone the sun is shining and its warm out at last .     Love from Jan xx
