Wow what a great night! As a relative new comer to SHWI I wasn't sure what to expect from a birthday party for a WI. Would there be party hats and cake, pass the parcel or singing birthday songs to each other?

Well, there was definitely cake amongst the vast array of yummy food everyone brought for the pot luck. I spotted a few fancy hats too, including a fascinator made from tights, very WI I must say.
After the usual business, we all formed a very orderly polite queue for the food - then could be seen shovelling in Guinness brownies, stilton bread, onion tartlets and sticky toffee things to name but a few. As we quietly stuffed our faces, we were ushered into a semi-circle ready for the next portion of the night.

This
was in the form of Dotty Winters, a fabulous women with a penchant for
telling fibs and poking fun at herself and others. In her defence, she
did admit to the fibs after she'd lured us in so convincingly with her
comedy act so I think we can forgive her. To be honest, I think we can
forgive anyone who can pull off wearing a cape to do their weekly Tesco
shop. This, I hasten to add, was not a fib as she brought it with her to
prove it while giving us a warm and funny insight into her life as a
female comedian. It was both refreshing and sometimes a little gritty to
hear of her experiences as a women in a male dominated world, which is
surprising to say in 2015. But her lust for the centre of attention and
passion for making others giggle soon had us rolling in the aisles.
All
too quickly the night came to an end with huge rounds of applause and
leftover food snaffled up, we all went on our ways after a great night,
looking forward to what the next 12 months will bring. |
