Dear Prime Time friends,
I am Di the third member of the Prime Time Team, usually to be found with a clip board and checking everybody is on my list.
What a long time it seems now since we all met, the only advantage is I am not being tempted by the lovely cakes. I expect like me you are missing the lively chatter when we all gather.
Since lockdown, like many people who are lucky enough to have a garden, we have spent most of our time tidying and re-organising ours. I always feel closer to God in the garden and thankful he has given us such wonderful weather. At the moment as I type this letter the heavens have opened and mercifully our gardens will get the watering they have needed.
We have tried to be sensible as we worked around the garden and stopped for a cup of tea and a chat. We usually sit on the bench outside the summerhouse which has a view over to the Hogs Back & Guildford. At the beginning of lockdown we could enjoy the birds singing as with less traffic and planes it was very peaceful. When planning our garden we were very mindful of plants that attract butterflies and bees, which have entertained us as they fluttered from flower to flower.
Quite often we are accompanied around by one or all of our cats, Garfield, Smudge & Tootsie.
They all have their favourite sleeping places under bushes to get the shade on hot days.
Once again on zoom we had our second quiz, which was bravely attempted by a small group of Prime Timers. Mostly ladies so where were all you men or is it true we have the brains and the beauty!! We have 4 sets of ten questions , 2 General Knowledge and 2 of other subjects.
Just to tease you here are a few questions that got the old grey cells working of our quizzers.
1. The Rowan is another name for which European tree?
2. Which Uk city is situated furthest west - Bristol or Edinburgh?
3. Who wrote "Snow White and the seven dwarves" ?
You will have to wait until next week for the answers in the next Newsletter, and no Googling.
I hope you all keep safe and as Dave Allen used to finish his show with "May your God go with you”.
With love & prayers,
Di x
