Meeting date : Tuesday 1st April 2025
Meeting 3 of the new Bourne NWR group took place in the centre of Bourne once again, much to the enjoyment of 15 ladies from Bourne and surrounding areas.
Learn to swim
We heard some of us wanted to learn to swim but never had – we agreed it’s never too late.
Body Stuff
Several members admitted to not having a tattoo on any part of their body – broken a bone (me included) – had ear piercings – smoked a cigarette (I wish I could claim this) – worn lipstick (unimaginable for me as I love lippy)
Adventure
Never boarded a cruise or skied down a slope or eaten ham, egg n chips (my husbands ‘go to’ pub meal). The world over has seen the film Titanic except one of our group apparently.
Garden
One member has never owned a compost bin – (pop over to mine and I’ll give you some juicy red worms from my very established ‘dalek’, which I valued so highly I removed it and the contents from my Morton home many years ago when we came to live in Bourne.)
Our topics ‘not done’ were not universally regretted or part of our ‘bucket lists’. But I do wonder if the lady who cannot swim now, will one day tell us that she has learned to swim and is a regular at the Lido…
Have you seen the 2024 Disney film https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gertrude_Ederle the first woman to swim the English Channel ?
