Lockdown Newsletter 3: The Book Club and Entertainment Ideas
Book Club
Our book club of 12 members met regularly until the Covid restrictions in mid- March. We introduced a new idea from September 2019, to read Waterstones Book of the Month.
When all is said - Griffin
Once upon a river - Setterfield
My sister the Serial Killer - Braithwaite
Queenie - Carty-Williams
The Doll Factory -MacNeal
Lively discussion and cake are usually the order of the day, but WhatsApp comments now have rather cramped our style. So next month, as we tackle Girl, Woman, Other we will meet via Zoom!
Some entertainment ideas if you are running out of things to watch!
1.The Sewing Bee is back and is running for longer this time, same format as before. Easy fun TV for sewers.

3. Blood Seasons 1 and 2 with Adrian Dunbar. Drama set in Ireland about a family after the mother dies.
