Today was quite a milestone as it formally marked the end of the Winterslow Calendar Girls' two years of work. It is two years ago since the whole concept of the calendar began with a trip to the Mayflower Theatre and it also heralded the last page of the Calendar before the Christmas finale. All those involved, girls, sponsors, photographers etc. were invited to a buffet supper at Linda M's tonight. Around thirteen or fourteen turned up for a most enjoyable night of great food, drink (including champagne) and great companies and storytelling. I was a bit sceptical about going at first as I didn't think I would enjoy it - with so many women - but it was good fun and Sara and I were the last to leave I think. The Calendar has done more than just raise £17,000 for the hospital, (although that is a wonderful achievement in itself) - it has brought together so many people in the village who didn't really know each other and has been such a major talking point throughout the community. It was a wonderful thing to be involved in this. Now everybody is asking what the next project is going to be! There is an assumption that it will be a male calendar. Well maybe, but not next year. too many other things going on in my life next year.
