At a time like no other, while coping with the stress and strain of isolation due to the Corona virus, Hilary Mear of Ascot, hopes you will enjoy her little book and have a good laugh! And that you will find the photos of the flowers and plants in her garden interesting. The garden has provided much joy for over 45 years. The two photos of poppies were taken at the Church - St Michael & All Angels, Sunninghill.
For several years Hilary's friends have been forwarding amusing clips to her and she has now decided to gather them into a book and let them do some good! So, many thanks to all those friends who have contributed!
The profit from this book will support a shared Inner Wheel and Rotary charity – the New Thames Valley Hospice. Hilary and her husband, David, have been a members of Ascot Rotary & Inner Wheel Clubs for 30 years and love all they stand for.
