The Buzz

On January 26, Margaret McCafferty opened the meeting with a poem by Robert Burns. Ian Kirkpatrick played his fiddle and we heard Flow Gently Sweet Afton and Rantin Rovin Robin. Eunice Sutherland recited a few poems, one story being an interaction between husband and wife, which was excellent. Lorna White graced us with a few songs such as Coming Through the Rye and Scots Wa Hae. Tommy Jardine put the spotlight on Burns and some of his poems, one of them being Holy Wullie’s Prayer, which was very well done.
On February 9, Isobel welcomed Dorothy Edwards, who was giving us a talk on a small area in France where she and her husband spend a lot of time at their holiday home, which they have had for many years. The fishing industry is very important to the area, with oysters being plentiful and a favourite delicacy. The picture postcards, showing roundabouts in France, were lovely and very interesting as each one is depicted differently. One of them was a floral one with lovely sunflowers; another was boats with a boy looking as if he is trailing one.

Our next meetings are March 9, My First Teaching Post with Wilson Ogilvie; March 23, Sanquhar Knitting; and April 6, Music for an Afternoon with the church choir. Plus, April 4 is the Buzz Coffee Morning.
