Talk by Dr Natalie Hepburn
WOMEN’S INSTITUTE
June Meeting of Wenvoe W.I.
Wenvoe WI met last Thursday and enjoyed a talk given by Dr Natalie Hepburn, who is a local shepherdess. Natalie keeps and rears several animals including Llamas, sheep and goats in her small holdings near Creigiau. Also, her extensive knowledge of chemistry has enabled her to produce all manner of soaps and skin balms, as well as fleeces and rugs from her animals. Recently, she visited Brazil where she studied different methods of producing similar biproducts. During her talk Natalie demonstrated her basic method of soap production, and afterwards members were able to purchase her products.
Our next meeting is on Thursday 4th July at 7.00pm in the Church Hall, when Viv Turan (a local expert in antiques) will evaluate and assess any pieces members possess which they deem as being an antique.
Tasters and potential new members are welcome.
Jan Young (President)
