100 for 100 – 100 skies to cheer and inspire!

in

As part of our 100 celebration challenges, one of our members, Cris, said she would submit 100 photos of beautiful or unusual skies. Cris would like to thank all who have sent  her photos, they have been sent by club members and her family. They are mostly from her trips to the coast during the summer or around the Wardley area where she lives. Cris is  sure you will agree that there are some stunning pictures and hopes you enjoy them.  She really enjoyed taking them even though some of the sun rises meant that she had to get up really early. Another challenge to mark off the list. skies 2[317406] 2skies 3[317407] 3skies 4[317408] 4[317409] 1

Now the Angel Story can be told. For many weeks,one of our members, Patricia, and her friends, have been knitting angels – hundreds of them – for residents of six Care Homes in Morpeth, two Retirement Homes and for nurses in a Psychiatric Unit, as well as for individuals throughout the town in time for Christmas. Having been quarantined in their boxes for the requisite time, the angels are now ready to be delivered in the weeks before Christmas – and the latest total is 970 angels! Hopefully, these lovely Angels are going to bring joy to so many people!
