Somerset Federation 95th Birthday

At Woodlands Castle near Taunton today a large group of WI members gathered to celebrate 95 years of the Somerset Federation of WIs. We arrived during persistent rain, which meant we could only look at the beautiful gardens. No-one wanted to go out in case the rather sumptuous hats and outfits were spoiled! Our Chair, Margaret Bigg, welcomed us and we all toasted the 95th anniversary. Then we sat down to a delightful afternoon tea, served on china cake stands and eaten from delicate china plates. The cake was decorated with Cheddar Pinks made from sugar! Quite fantastic! The company was excellent and a good time was had by all.
