What a truly memorable event was our November meeting, with our very sincere thanks to the Waitrose team, Jane, Jackie and Sue, who gave us a fascinating insight into what we should be eating and drinking – in the way of wine, cheese and chocolates over the Christmas period, and after all their samples they even spoilt us with Christmas Cake!
We certainly left the evening with that Happy Christmas feeling.
