So What Do Our Families think

First of all , my names Angela, so what do I say, other than when Kevin (Junior Deacon), tole me that he had just been asked by a neighbour, had he ever thought about joining the Mason's - To be honest I laughed and told him not to be stupid....What do you want to do that for? he had never mentioned an interest before. Well since joining in 2015, he has really thrown himself into it. Peace at last I get Tuesday nights peace and quiet....Well not quite, there are nights I can hear him talking to the dogs, learning his ritual, heavens only knows what the locals who walk their dogs in the park must think,,as he is always reciting his words whilst picking up what dogs do best!!! As for me I was skeptical at first but, once I found out that on "Festive Board Nights " the wife's and ladies of the lodge go out for a meal and have a good chin wag and plot how to improve the lodge.. It is nice to talk to other wives and just be girls together. The annual Ladies Night is one where the husbands show their appreciation to the Real Power behind every thriving and good Lodge. Masonry is for is perceived to be for the men but, hey we ladies do have some fun times....oh the scandals we hear about. No scratch that last bit, its all about getting together and taking part in in a whole new world like no other. Angela Crossland
