Well it was myself that made the headlines in the paper last week – surprisingly a number of folk spotted my photo and made comment and it seems they will again this week. Thanks to Chronicle journalist Sam and photographer Scott who paid me a visit at the museum last Friday to do a story on my 30 years. I was forewarned and had a cuppa, pineapple slice and Anzac biscuits ready to tempt them in the ‘hope they would write nice things about me’, which they did in the item on line, and Scott even made me look pretty good as well in the photo.

Factory Reunion at Cundletown Museum
John and I took ourselves off early to the Cundletown Museum on Saturday morning to view the goings on for the Dairy Factory Workers and Farmers Reunion and to have a look at their recent improvements. We both caught up with quite a few folk we knew and enjoyed watching Michael Barlin from Kingston Creek Creamery making his delicious ice-cream and we did get to do a taste test on it – yummy. We spent a couple of hours looking around and the crowds were growing by the time we left.
The museum was donating their proceeds from the morning tea and barbecue to the drought relief, a worthy cause which I hope was successful.
Farewell Nancy Clare Ford
St Matthew’s Anglican Church Wingham was overflowing for the funeral of a much loved and dear friend, Nancy Ford, on Wednesday September 19. Rev. Brian Ford conducted the service and the sharing of family memories was given by sister-in-law Christine Yarnold with the bible reading Psalm 23 by friend Rhonda Dibley.
The wake was held in St Matthew’s Fellowship Hall and those attending were able to view the lovely craft work Nancy loved to do for her family members and those who wished were able to have a keepsake of Nancy by way of a beautiful crocheted edge handkerchief she had done.
Rest in peace, Nancy.
