Continuing Continuing with this theme, Bradley's Group, with Marion Peters convenor, presented presented the programme of Fun and Games.

He discovered that the flowers he grew in his garden brought happiness to the sick, poor, and lonely. He continued continued this service of love throughout his long life. After his death, people sent flowers to the sick and lonely in his memory. When they had no flowers, flowers, they used pictures of flowers, later later adding hearts to the greeting for this service of love. Now we have a special day for Valentine's Day.

Lois Yellowlees concluded concluded the antics with two clever "puzzle" games which tested our mettle. All were great fun!
