WOMEN’S INSTITUTE
After the business of the AGM was completed at the November meeting of Eardisland W.I. members enjoyed a very relaxing session sampling products from the Body Shop. There was a great deal of sniffing - and some very pleasant smells to sniff - and trying creams until we were shown how to give a hand massage. We then paired off and tried this out on each other. Pity the effect would soon be spoilt by all those dishes in the sink.
