A Carpathian Caper<\/h3>\n

At our most recent speaker meeting on Zoom, Harrogate and District Soroptimists enjoyed a presentation by Pat Rumbold on her Romanian holiday. What a joy! This wasn\u2019t your run-of-the-mill collection of holiday snaps with a commentary. It was a cornucopia of beautiful photographs and fascinating insights into the flora, fauna and culture of this former communist country.
\nPat and her husband stayed with a local guide called Dan. He took them out daily on walking tours in the beautiful countryside of the Carpathian Mountains<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Brown Bears, rare birds and wild flowers<\/h3>\n

Pat entranced us with her descriptions. From\u00a0a stunning array of wildlife including bears, newly awakened from their winter lethargy. Also, \u00a0birds which are rarely seen in Western Europe and beautiful wild flowers, \u00a0For those of us who have been hibernating during lockdown, her account of the narcissus meadow and the scents emanating from that meadow was stunning.<\/p>\n

Local food and fortified churches<\/h3>\n

Pat\u00a0and her husband were able to sample local foods and delicacies as they were catered for by Dan\u2019s \u00a0wife who also gave them an insight into local crafts. \u00a0Other cultural highlights included visits to fortified churches and castles together with a fascinating history of this little known country. Altogether a memorable evening for a group of lockdown ladies.<\/p>\n
