GROWING OLD DISGRACEFULLY was the intriguing title of our talk at the June
meeting. The speaker Julie Dore, a qualified medical herbalist, quickly
explained that she would give us some guidelines to extend our healthy
life-span - the disgraceful part was then at our discretion!
We heard of the important part Garlic and Hawthorn play in herbal medicine and how herbs could be used alongside exercise and diet to improve our health. At the end of a really interesting talk Julie invited us to taste a number of her freshly brewed herbal teas. Our July meeting will be a summer party in Margaret Phillip's garden at 7pm on 17th and on August 20th we visit Belton House and Gardens. Our next meeting in the village hall will be on September 18th when our speaker will be Ruth Killcullen fromWood Green Animal Shelter.
