14 NOVEMBER 2023 GLENFIELD GAZETTE Annual Meeting of Glenfield WI THIS MONTH was our Annual Meeting and both the President and Secretary gave their respective reports to members. It was remarked on how circumstances have caused us to move venues during this last year. However, we have finally ended up back where we began in the Church Rooms, a venue that suits us perfectly. The speaker this month was Caroline Roberts who began her talk by telling us how she trained to be a Blue Badge Guide in Leicester with a small baby in tow. Said baby is now all grown up and Caroline has guided many people around the historic sites of Leicester. She continued her talk about Leicestershire’s connections with Royalty by mentioning familiar names like Richard 111 and Lady Jane Grey. She also included a lesser-known tale of how the future King Edward V111 had met Mrs Simpson at Borough Court near Melton Mowbray. Wallace being a close friend of the Furness family. It was an interesting talk and members were encouraged to share their personal experiences of meeting, even at a distance, with the late Queen and other members of the present Royal Family. • OUR NEXT MEETING will be at 2pm Wednesday 8th November at St Peter’s Church Rooms. The speaker will be Jane Ramsey who will be giving a Chocolate Demonstration. This promises to be an enjoyable and possibly tasty afternoon. Visitors are always very welcome so do come along and join us. The Glenfield Gardeners’ Association News from the Glenfield Gardeners’ Association WINTER IS SLOWLY creeping up on us and it feels like the right time to put our gardens to bed for the year. A little bit of tidying is useful but avoiding cutting back your perennials will provide much needed protection for many of our smaller insect friends like ladybirds and lacewings. Nicola Oakey, our guest speaker for October suggested that this time of year is one of the best times to plant new perennials and shrubs. Nicola, an RHS award winning designer spoke to us about planting drought proof plants. She explained that autumn is better for establishing plants as they can concentrate on root growing and not flowering which they have to do in summer. Good plants to include in your garden for conditions like last year’s heat wave, would be Echinops with its long tap root and Stachys with hairy leaves. Both adapt well to dry weather.
