A Family Easter Down on The Farm
Low Farm
Waldringfield

March 2008
 

   
It was a WHITE EASTER this year down on the farm....

As with previous years, Rosanna, Bob, Sheena and Michael had planned a family weekend with most of the group activities in the small hall. Although cosy at times, there was room to have warming hot cross buns with plentiful cups of tea and coffee on Friday morning followed by "Bob's Bingo" on Friday evening. The stakes were modest and the prizes were welcome. Some of us were happy to break even but it was worth attending just to hear Bob get the numbers wrong now and again and drop the odd bingo ball. We all enjoyed the evening.
 

On Saturday, the children were pleased to see the odd snow flurry and although the radio weather forecast had promised heavy snow, we knew that this was a cautious forecast and as we were near the coast it may not materialise at all. But given time, the snow came and by Sunday there was nearly an inch of wet white snow, that thrilled even the grown ups. cameras came out (except I left mine at home again) and the children were in their element. Snowmen appeared and snowball fights were the order of the day.

The Sunday egg hunt was a great success and I think all the eggs were found this year. The thaw started to set in until the final overnight chill. We reflected over last year at Waldringfield when we were all walking round the rally field with summer shorts and barbecuing our dinner outside. What a contrast !
 

Many thanks to the rally marshals, Rosanna, Bob, Sheena and Michael for running this family weekend of fun.
