This month we have our Brighten up January special at St Peter and St Paul, Kettlethorpe, with hot bacon butties after the regular Sunday service at 9am on January 25th. Then if one of your New Year’s resolutions had a “get fit” flavour about it, on February 15th there is a wonderful opportunity to have a Winter Walk through the woods and fields of Kettlethorpe, with cakes and hot drinks at the church to fortify you afterwards.
Tickets from the church gate, £2.50 (under-16s free), from 11am to 3pm, and this year by special request Alison Brownlow will be starting us off at 11am with a special talk about the Flora and Fauna you can hope to see on your way – maybe even (see above) some of the deer that have made a home here. Free refreshments for children (and dogs), so a lovely family outing – all in aid of St Peter and St Paul, where this year we are repairing the porch and making it possible to put more of our history on display.
The Kettlethorpe and District WI’s December meeting was certainly lively, including the business section! Monica Marsh, our speaker, delivered several most humorous monologues during and at the end of the business. Her final, more serious Christmas poem was also unique. The social part of the meeting involved participation by all in ‘Grab-a-raffle’ and the Christmas quiz, which along with mince pies and shortbread really put us in the festive spirit. The Christmas cone decoration winner was Sharon Mosedale.
Looking forward to our meeting on January 20th, the speaker is Chris Hewis. He will be taking us back in time to Victorian Lincoln. How much has Lincoln changed … or remained the same over the years? The competition is ‘a photo of bygone Lincoln’.
