Orla - hostess with the mostest
 A wonderful time together, celebrating St Patrick's Day.  We also heard about the FAWCO Conference - Kim introduced it at the beginning of the lunch, and then Maggie and Rowena both spoke about what transpired in Bern.  (Full details/reports on the FAWCO website, and they will also appear on Scriveners).  Maggie returned with delicious slabs of chocolate from Switzerland - chocolate/cranberry;  white chocolate;  chocolate/noisette;  dark chocolate.  Yum!  We had a drawing for Swiss cookies, won by Laetitia - who kindly donated her prize to the table, very generously.
