We arrived at Ingeborg’s house with our donations for the meal before the starting time of the walk at 11.00. Christa led us behind the houses to hidden fields, the furthest point being the old windmill.
Ingeborg had arranged her charming house beautifully for the nearly thirty participants. With her large windows letting in plenty of sunshine, pale green table cloths and candles, the room was very light and bright. Paulette opened the lunch by thanking Ingeborg with a lovely bouquet of flowers and welcoming our WIC President, Anke and Loeky who is in charge of Social Events. Paulette thanked not only the Walkers who had contributed to the lunch but also those who had contributed to the charity even though they could not attend.
What is not announced under Activities in NEWSWIC is that the Walkers are great cooks, producing a great variety of delicious dishes. When they were displayed they made a mouth watering sight in colour and texture. A little wine added to the enjoyment of the meal. Judging by the noise level everyone was having a good time. I suspect that although we are very happy to be able to contribute to the charity we also have a great fun day for ourselves.

It is always fun to follow the traditions that the WIC walkers continue from year to year and with some nostalgia ... I might add.
April has been a busy month for you all. Congratulations on great participation in the Blue Bell walk as well as the Charity outing and luncheon event. Looks like great fun to me! Keep on walkin' ...
