Hixon luncheon club

It was great to return to Hixon luncheon club run by a wonderful team of dedicated volunteers and talk to everybody there. As it is Valentine day tomorrow the tables were decorated with chocolate hearts. Vera and David who celebrated their birthdays today brought a superb selection of wine and non-alcoholic beverages.! Lunch was wonderful, it included minced lamb and a lovely selection of various vegetables followed by a choice of apple strudel and custard or red berries jelly. 

The quiz brought a lovely spirit of competitivity, every team had to write down the names of all the English counties that have a boarder by the sea! When my team was stuck I waved my mobile and offered to help them with Google map but I was promptly reminded that I should not cheat! Yep, I knew that of course. Ten minutes later Steven suggested the same thing and they all nodded ok. Shocking!!! Well the answer was, 'we can move the goal post when we want!' So we all had a good laugh!!!! Here are a few photos of everybody. Have a blessed day. 

The righteous will flourish like a palm tree,
they will grow like a cedar of Lebanon;
13 planted in the house of the Lord,
they will flourish in the courts of our God.
14 They will still bear fruit in old age,
they will stay fresh and green,
15 proclaiming, “The Lord is upright;
he is my Rock, and there is no wickedness in him.”

Psalm 92 12-15
