On Tuesday 6th November I had been invited to visit the Wells WI to give a short talk about what I do, and to actually make something with them all. After some previous discussion with their President, Lucy we decided that the wrapped willow star would be the most sensible as there may be up to 75 ladies.....and there was!
I had never spoken in front of that many people before and was pretty nervous. I think that the ladies of the Wells WI were probably a very good starting point for my initiation into public speaking! Not that I plan to do a lot of it I might add! My demonstration went without a hitch, thank goodness, as willow can have a mind of it's own at the most inopportune moment! I think every single lady had a go and I hope that everyone ended up taking something home with them. So thank you to them all and I hope they enjoyed it as much as I did after my initial nerves!
I look forward to doing something similar with the Frome WI in the New Year and if anyone else would like to discuss a visit to their local group please get in touch.
