We welcomed two visitors, Del from Bathurst and her sister Liz and hope they will come again.
Also present were Candice, Carole, Jennifer, Emma, Esther, Evie and Kate.
The Photography Group were in the other room as they have now accepted our right to the room with adequate lighting and presented us with a box of chocolates as a peace offering for previous misunderstandings.
The usual pleasant evening, sewing and chatting and once again Evie brought a new book from her library for our inspection.
Annabelle, Esther's daughter made a delicious Banana cake which we enjoyed. Here is the recipe - thankyou,
BANANA CAKE
