Memory
Cafe friends and helpers were ‘out and about’ for their August mid-month
meeting. We were fortunate to have
chosen a beautifully warm and sunny afternoon to pay a visit to Crantock Church
Flower Festival, which this year was entitled ‘Curtain Up’. The church was a
feast for the eyes and noses, full of thirty wonderful arrangements, each one
based on the title of a well-known theatrical or musical production. There was much to admire – both in the highly
creative floral displays and the setting of the lovely church itself.
For many Memory Cafe members it was either a
first time visit or perhaps a return to the church after a number of
years. Some had a go at the quiz based
around the titles of the displays, whilst others were happy just to enjoy the
sights and scents, and perhaps spend time sitting outside in the sunshine.
After
a pleasant hour we strolled around the corner for a delicious cream tea at the
Cosy Nook Tea Garden, where there was plenty of time for a chat and a laugh.
Thanks
must go to Sue Dennett and members of Crantock Church, the staff of the Cosy
Nook for a most enjoyable afternoon, and also to Kathleen at 'The Cornishman' for allowing us to use their car parking facilities, which made access for our
visit so much easier.
The next
Memory Cafe meetings will on Monday 4th September and Monday 18th
September at Crantock Village Hall from 2pm. Should you need further
