Happy Birthday Ponthir W.I.

Ponthir W.I. has a reputation as always being ready to party-the June meeting in the Village Hall provided ample opportunity. Platty Joobs aside, a somewhat delayed birthday party was held to celebrate the 60th. birthday of Ponthir W.I.-postponed for 2 years by the Covid Pandemic.

Not only was there a delicious rich fruit cake baked and decorated by the amazing Diane Hall, consumed with copious amounts of fizz, but, also there was a musical interlude with Ponthir Recorder Harmonies, a quiz and a poem especially composed to mark the occasion by Jean Stanbury. A special toast too to Marjorie Houghton -one of the founder members from way back in 1960 !

Sadly, Paddington Bear did not put in an appearance and there were no marmalade sandwiches, but, it was a fun night enjoyed by all !
