carp ponds, sculptures and wonderful bonsai trees-a tribute to Mike’s skill and expertise. The next meeting for Kingswomen will be on Saturday July 9th on Jubilee Park where picnicking members will attend the Countess Wear production of Romeo and Juliet and possibly wine will be consumed!


HAWKS The other day we were driving back from shopping and as


we entered Higher Contour Rd. we saw what looked like an injured buzzard on the side of the road, it was still moving. I stopped and reversed back to it to see if it was in distress or if we could help it – thinking all the while of its beak and talons and exactly how you ‘help’ a hawk if you ‘re not David Attenbrough – but when we got close it became apparent that it was not a hawk but two hawks having a little hawky punch-up. Very fortunately Jan (Wife) had her camera present and she took this unusual shot of a hawk, very close up. Soon after this the hawks must have decided that two large humans and a looming silver Volkswagon were more of a threat than each other, so they had a parting peck at each other’s flesh and then legged it, or rather winged it, over the road, up and away. Quite an awesome experience for us, if not them


REMINDER OF SHAKESPEARE Last year we didn’t support them very well so let’s try hard


to do better this year – so very, very much work goes in to putting productions together and the group always entertains us very well indeed. This year’s Countess Weir Players’

production is Romeo and Juliet, a story most of us know and love well, so let’s pack the posh picnic, throw in the bottles of wine and have a great night out in the open at Jubilee Park on Saturday July 9th at 7:00pm, I believe. Tickets can be bought on the night. Bring your own chairs and warm gear.
