Wednesday 26th November

Oh dear oh dear, I failed to get my captive audience motivated today! I’m the only female member of a very traditional club called ‘Quarter Sessions,’ it dates back to the time of the dastardly Judge Jeffries and when worthies of the town of different professions entertained visiting judges.

These quarterly meetings revolve around a delicious lunch and includes port. Well, I suggested that perhaps members would like to forgo their port and donate the value to The Alcohol Education Trust for dryvember this time ( I was coyly sipping water throughout of course).. well not on your nelly! So plenty of ribbing all round – and in fact two members are trustees of wonderful Trusts who support charities across the South West – so plenty of discussion around worthy causes! My drink of the day? Dorset ginger with soda – delicious.
