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.
