We are a little bit late . Easter and the launch of Natural Resources Wales has caused delays . Both went well !!!

On March 26th Lis went to the Furniture Makes lunch at their Hall , for Livery Mistresses . There was entertainment with a couple of acting small scenes with a "Mistress scenario" - very good and entertaining . It was  a fundraising event for the Furniture Masters charities and hence there was a raffle but Lis reports that she did not win a prize .

On March 27th Lis went to a Masters'  Ladies Lunch on the HQS Wellington hosted by the Master Mariner. After coffee at 11 am Lis joined a party for a tour of the ship , followed by  most pleasant lunch . As always the Master was most welcoming .

Both of these events gave Lis a wonderful opportunity to get to know some of the other Ladies and this will put us in good stead for the Livery weekend in Ironbridge in June.

On April 3rd after a successful launch of Natural Resources Wales in South Wales  I went to the Easter court dinner of the Worshipful Company of Parish Clerks . We dined in the crypt of Guildhall , slightly chilly, but very pleasant surroundings and excellent food . The toasts were most unusual . The response on behalf of  the guests by Murray  Craig Clerk of the Chamberlain's  Court was very amusing . I sat next next to the Rev Canon Dvaid Parrott of St Lawrence Jewry , the Guildhall Chapel ,  and found that his grandmother had lived very close to where we now live in Fenstanton . Life is very strange and co-incidental !!
