We continue our Spring Season with:
Goodbye Christopher Robin: (PG) biography/drama on Monday, February 26th at 7:30pm
This film looks at the relationship between children’s author A. A. Milne and his son Christopher Robin, whose toys inspired the magical world of Winnie the Pooh. Along with his mother and nanny, Christopher Robin and his family are swept up in the international success of the enchanting tales bringing hope and comfort to many after the First World War but the cost to the family was greater than any of them anticipated.
Tickets £5 on the door to include a complimentary drink. Doors open 7:00pm.

Mystery Christmas Gift:–
Many thanks to Robert Cocks for his sterling help in trying to locate me. The sorting office also did some great detective work and successfully delivered the parcel – a lovely silk scarf. It appears an elderly relative neglected to put my full address on the package and due to the integrity of those involved I received the gift. I am very grateful to all concerned. Diana Bamber

And finally:–
“It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade.”
“March is a month of considerable frustration it is so near spring and yet across a great deal of the country the weather is still so violent and changeable that outdoor activity in our yards seems light years away.”
