On that occasion we were entertained by Debra John from Swansea who, having donned the apron and cap, regaled us with an amusing account of \u2018life as an Edwardian Maid\u2019. Her talk spanned from her duties throughout a normal day which began at five in the morning, to her evident disgust at the indolence of Footmen and the disruption caused by having the new-fangled \u2018electricity\u2019 installed in the Manor House.<\/p>\n

Next month the WI will meet on 7th April, when the subject for the evening is King Richard III.<\/p>\n

A warm welcome is ensured to all visitors.<\/p>\n

Jan Young (President).<\/p>\n
