The Book Group read “The Boleyn Inheritance” by Philippa Gregory which was enjoyed by more than half of the members. We agreed that the novel needed to be read as fiction first rather than as an historical narrative. The trouble is we have some history buffs among us who find things to question in the telling of the story so perhaps we will give this genre a miss for a while. Our latest requests for sets from the County Library have all been rejected as the books are fully booked for months ahead so it is back to the drawing board with the list. Our group has been going for about 15 years so it is not surprising that we are beginning to find that we have read an awful lot of the titles in stock.
The Fashion Show staged at the AVDC Gatehouse, Aylesbury was well attended and the models from our BFWI Board of Trustees performed very professionally. The clothes were provided by shops in towns across Bucks and they were featured in a wide range of sizes to suit normal people who are not as thin as twigs! I am sure many ladies present were thinking that they would like to wear a pair of trousers or a dress like those on display.
