A picture is worth a thousand words . . .<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Parish</strong> <strong>Magazine</strong> - <strong>February</strong> <strong>2022</strong> 27<br />
. . . so goes the old adage from the early 1900's, although it is believed to have its roots in 'A thousand words leave not<br />
the same deep impression as does a single deed' which was coined by the Norwegian playwright, Henrik Johan Ibsen<br />
(1828-1906). If this saying is true, we have squeezed 4,000 words onto this page!<br />
Above are photographs by churchwarden, Liz Nelson, of the well-attended Rendezvous Christmas Lunch in the <strong>The</strong> Ark when the members<br />
enjoyed a traditional Christmas dinner, prepared by Emma's Kitchen of Twyford, and followed by carol singing and a welcome visit from<br />
St Nicholas! <strong>The</strong> lunch was enhanced by some splendid table decorations made especially by the St Andrew's Sunday Club children.<br />
Below are two Sonning Art Group paintings produced during the Christmas season. On the left is an excellent acrylic painting of autumn<br />
leaves by Bernadette Varilone and on the right, George Gallocker's accomplished watercolour of a snow scene. Sonning Art Group is<br />
continuing its Friday afternoon meetings in Pearson Hall and, like all local groups, they are hoping they will not be interrupted by viruses<br />
during the coming year.
