Another year passed but where has it gone?
Meetings and chat are what we’ve dwelled on.
With Covid behind us, and meetings this year
We have been together with much to cheer.
Meetings were planned for the year ahead
Not held in our homes, but a hall instead.
Speakers joined us and shared their talents
Alongside church services to have a life balance.
A Jubilee lunch in June for our Queen
In Linda’s garden we honoured her reign.
With a glass of pink fizz we toasted her Majesty
Coronation Chicken was our dish of the day.
Our Honorary Ladies cut the platinum cake
Before the rain poured and we rushed in for a break!
With “In House” meetings on the agenda
Our WF history and favourite books were remembered.
What to do when a speaker cancels?
A visit to Packwood is never a hassle.
We frequently thank the National Trust
An explore of their properties always a must.
In the autumn we listened to Sally
Playing her double bass for her finale.
We learned of the years of practice it took her
To join and play in our Birmingham Orchestra.
In November a husband gave us insight
Into North Korea where he had taken a flight.
Life under Kim and his frightening dictatorship
Made us appreciate our democratic leadership.
A Christmas lunch at a Golf Club we know
Saw our year almost brought to a close.
One thing was clear – 2022 had been a good year
Our Fellowship thriving is such a cheer.
2023 began with coffee at the local Farm Shop
When our ladies came to chat non stop!
Our AGM and the business done
With a new programme which is ready to run.
So we in Solihull trust in our Fellowship
Enjoying gatherings and all our friendships.
