Quote of the week

Life isn't about finding yourself, it is about creating yourself'

If you cannot mould yourself entirely as you would wish, how can you expect other people to be entirely to your liking?

Questions by candlelight

Yesterday evening's quiz at Chilton Church was a wonderful event.

The Church looked really stunning; the pews having been moved to the sides of the church, and, of course, since there is no electricity at the church, the event was illuminated by hurricane lamps and candles.

There was enough light however to see the numerous pieces of paper that we were obliged to fill in, and also the plasticine models which each team was asked to construct as part of a 'sculptural charades' competition.

We would have done better if I had not leapt in prematurely in one round and scored nil points...so apologies to our team mates for that!  I was sure that the answer was Ronald Regan, but it turned out to be Paul Newman.....

It really was an evening with a difference, and I hope it will be repeated next year.  The Church, which is not very large,  provides a wonderful space for this sort of event.

Thanks to the Friends of St Mary's Church in general,  and David Tibbetts Chaplin and Eileen Gore in particular.
