Frome Group Summer Social: A Peace Tea

Saturday 21 June saw another lovely afternoon of 'Bygone Times' with a Peace Tea in our Village Hall.  This was our Summer Group Social with members from other local institutes invited.  A special thank you to Sue Rodford (looking every bit a WW1 nurse) for explaining a little about Peace Teas and for making our dainty sandwiches.

The format (and some of the costumes) were in WW1 style along with decorations and bunting to match.

After a brief introduction to the history of Peace Teas and informing us of how WW1 affected millions of British women in both the short and longer term by "Nurse" Sue,  we sang some wartime songs, ably accompanied by Ruth from Nunney Institute. We all tucked into dainty sandwiches, homemade scones, cakes and jam tarts and lashings of tea.

Everyone enjoyed a lovely afternoon, lots of chatter and were reluctant to leave.  Many thanks to all who contributed, by setting up the hall, making food, serving and clearing up, making this such a lovely occasion. It was much appreciated by our visitors who thanked us for our efforts and found "it very friendly and enjoyed the songs".
