3 years ago today we had our inauguration meeting, our start up committee were concerned no one would turn up, how wrong we were, 3 years on we are thriving even during lockdown, new friends made, fabulous things learned and done and much more to follow #happybirthdayBartonBeesWI

Just sat waiting to start our third birthday meeting on zoom we have a fabulous speaker tonight Howard Middleton from great British bake off. We’ve also had a cake baking challenge so pictures later it’s going to be fun

Fabulous zoom talk this evening from Howard Middleton about GBBO thoroughly enjoyed by all Women's Institute @WILifemagazine finished off with us singing ourselves happy birthday and blowing out candles

Some of the fabulous third birthday cakes made by our ladies, which we enjoyed after our zoom talk from Howard Middleton We think at least one of them should apply for GBBO @WILifemagazine Women's Institute

Looking forward to our virtual garden parties on Saturday, we have 12 gardens Hosting 4 - 5 ladies around our village and we will be zooming in together at 3 for a chat. Not quite the same as last years mass event shown in the pictures below, but hopefully it will be lovely.

Today we are having our virtual Tea party lots of gardens each hosting up to 6 ladies from 2 - 4 with a zoom get together at 3. Weather gods are not doing us any favours but all the ladies are happy to go ahead gazebos are hastily being erected Rain will not stop the WI....

Today , despite the weather we had 12 tea parties in and around Barton where our members gathered in groups to celebrate together , at 3pm we had a group zoom for a few minutes so we could all see what everyone was up to. A few pictures below. @WILifemagazine Women's Institute

At our monthly meeting on Zoom we were lucky to have @PipBFlowers join us & talk through how an RHS Chelsea garden is built. It was a fabulous & very much enjoyed by all. We invited members of Hampshire WI to join us using tickets on Eventbrite. @WILifemagazine Women's Institute

Very interesting talk last night entitled Sex, Secrets, Scandal and Salacious Gossip of the Royal Court, 1660 to 1830 by Sarah Slater. It was a little saucy and most informative . Harris's catalogue of Covent Garden ladies was a real eye opener. Google it. @WILifemagazine

We were delighted to welcome 30 ladies from other WI around Hampshire to our meeting last night , it was a record attendance for one of our zoom meetings with 82 turning out on a cold January night.. Well not really out but you know what I mean

Apparently it is random Acts of Kindness Day today.. appears to be another American thing we are slowly adopting. But its a nice idea, we all know how nice it is when someone is kind to you and we don't need to just do it on one day, but its worth thinking about today

It's #internationalhappinessday we have had lots to be happy about in the past and we are very much looking forward to being together again, that will be the happiest day ever :)
