Our club Christmas celebrations this year included a sit-down, fully catered 'traditional' cold ham, cold turkey, new potatoes and salad dinner. It was a wonderful meal well complemented by the festive table setting. Members each contributed and received a hand made xmas cracker with quilty contents and Frances contributed a poem which she recited just before the dessert was served:| The daughter of the farrier Could find no one to marry her, Because she said She would not wed A man who could not carry her. | The foolish girl was wrong enough, And had to wait quite long enough; For as she sat She grew so fat That nobody was strong enough. |
It didn't appear to deter anyone from helping themselves to the little pavlova desserts!
