NEWS FROM <strong>GLENFIELD</strong> PARK WI<br />
WELL THAT was a different sort of evening.<br />
No speaker ,but another chance to try our hand at curling<br />
again. It would be nice to say we had improved although<br />
there was some improvement as the stones at least stayed<br />
on the floor. We didn’t rustle up any ice as the stones are<br />
on ball bearings and there was no going along with brushes.<br />
In fact a very gentile game, although it can be nasty as<br />
players knock the opponents stone off the target.<br />
However we were very polite when we did this and apologised<br />
profusely when it happened (although perhaps secretly<br />
we didn’t mean it). There was a lot of friendly banter<br />
and laughter. No one was ultra competitive and by the end<br />
of the evening there were some skilful players. I emphasise<br />
some as I wasn’t one of them. All in all a very sociable<br />
and successful evening full of hilarity and chat.<br />
Another successful event was our visit to Doningtonle<br />
Heath 1620s manor house. It must be one of<br />
Leicestershire’s hidden gems because although small<br />
there is so much to discover. We had an excellent guide<br />
and were amazed that she could remember all the facts,<br />

which were given in such an interesting way that you<br />
wanted to know more. It is called the 1620s house<br />
because although it was built in the 13th century it<br />
was renovated around 1620 and became the house<br />
we see today. One amusing fact you might like. One<br />
of the owners was in dispute with the land owner<br />
and to spite him he kept his pigs in the house, both<br />
upstairs and downstairs. I could recite a lot more interesting<br />
facts but I suggest that you visit yourself<br />
if you have the opportunity. It’s well worth a visit as<br />
it differs from other houses in that you can actually<br />
touch the items on display. We thoroughly enjoyed a<br />
really rewarding tour.<br />

I walked into the bedroom and tripped on the wife’s bra. It was a booby trap.
