Edwina Cooper and I were invited to attend the Alzheimer Society’s coffee morning on Thursday 8 November 2007 at St. Nicolas Church hall. We had been to one or two of their functions and were looking forward to visiting them again. When we got there, it was crowded out with supporters and friends and their idea of a coffee morning was to have a number of stalls selling materials, bric-a-brac and other items as well as serving coffee. Having bought a welcome cup of coffee and a biscuit, we talked to a number of people we had met before and then went around the various stalls. Edwina latched onto a framed photographic montage of the River Thames and as it showed the road her son’s house was in, she bought it as a present for him. There were a number of good framed and unframed prints but my eyes caught onto a beer mug which originated from Germany. It has an ornate brown exterior and had a hinged metal lid, designed to keep flies out of the beer. I was more than pleased to purchase that. It now occupies a place on the bureau shelf at home. Our purchases have allowed the Alzheimer Society to use the money to support its charitable work, which they do so well. Regrettably, we could not spend any more time there as we had another engagement that lunchtime.
