April 2025

We’ve had another busy month at the North West London WI, with our regular monthly meeting as well as our many clubs.  Highlights included a well-attended meeting at St Anne’s  when we learned the art of book-folding and it’s fair to say some picked it up faster than others, but nonetheless a thoroughly enjoyable evening!  Walking club enjoyed a lovely walk in the sunshine in Abbey Woods and beyond where the bluebells were in abundance.  Culture Club had two outings, one to the English National Ballet at Sadlers Wells and the other to our local theatre, the Kiln, to see Shanghai Dolls. Book Club held a packed meeting to talk about ‘Agent Sonya’, a true account of a very plucky woman who managed to fool everyone as a double agent, in part due to the fact that the men at M15/6 couldn’t believe a woman with children could have time to be a spy!   Finally, a lucky group of ten members had amazing day out watching the women’s rugby at Twickenham, with a nail-biting match between England’s Red Roses and France, when a late surge by France nearly won them the trophy, but England held on and won by 43 – 42!  Nerves were frayed!!!
