Over Peover WI raised over £1600 for The Christie at Macclesfield by hosting the Tea Rooms at the recent Peover Hall Open Garden weekend.
When villagers heard that Bernard Barber would be 90 this week and his family could not join him, due to the lockdown, they were determined to make his birthday one to remember.
The weather was prefect, the sun shone brightly and throughout Over Peover, houses, hedges, gates and trees were decorated with bunting and flags. Outside the village school, tributes hung on the trees of remembrance. The school was instrumental in organising this and the heart messages brought home the bravery and efforts of previous generations.
At 11am the two-minute silence was observed and thoughts turned to those who had served our county during the conflict. At 2.55pm, The “Last Post” provided a further poignant reminder.
Residents then moved to their front gardens and grass verges to join in celebration. Music of the era added to the atmosphere and the afternoon was one long socially distanced party. Even the teddies had their picnics!.
It was a day the village will remember for a long time to come.
The village really embraced the idea of producing scarecrows and showed off their creativity as a variety of scarecrows appeared all around the village. It brought a smile to the faces of passers by and certainly lifted our spirits. Here are a few examples and there were many more .. well done everyone.
In the light of COVID -19 Coronavirus, it is with deep regret that I have to advise that all W.I. meetings and activities have been suspended until further notice.
These are unprecedented times and I hope all of you, your families and friends keep well through this.
Warmest wishes
June Leach (President)
At the February meeting the WI ladies enjoyed a talk from Barbara Fraser who gave a fascinating insight into the traditions and customs of everyday Jewish life. For more information and to find out some of the planned events check out: WI Feb 2020 meeting
