Are you an October fan? An “as the evenings draw in” fan? As the leaves drop and the colours change..?

“Anne of Green Gables” author, Lucy Maud Montgomery, is quoted as saying “I’m so glad I live in a world where there are Octobers”.

Whilst we may not have all the splendid colours of her Canadian Falls, we have pretty spectacular ones and I just adore those cold, sunny days when the light is gorgeous and then you curl up at the end of the day with the curtains drawn.

If you’re like me, savour these days because then it turns into November! Need I say more?

And, with current restrictions, this could feel like a long autumn / winter….but we’ll continue to keep our meetings going and support each other in the best ways we can.

Of course, it will have to be on line rather than face to face. Some of our speakers are becoming very adept at Zoom (other on line platforms are available!) and October is no exception. We welcome back Freda Thompson who will talk about Newcastle in the 1960s.

Whether you went through the 60s as “twinkle in the eye” or a baby, a girl, a teenager, or a young woman, join in, learn and/or reminisce. Dig out your capri pants or bell bottoms, put on your old music and enjoy 🙂

All members will be emailed a link to the meeting. If you’re reading this but you’re not a member, no worries, just contact me through this website and I’ll email you the link.
