Going along Pack Lane you will have noticed that the site of the Pack Lane Garage has now very much come to the end of another era for Kempshott. How long it has been there I do not know but I have been told that it was there before the Second World War. E Beaver & Sons owned it. They not only sold petrol, oil etc. buy were also engineers, contractors and dealt with plant hire. It is soon to be turned into a site for residential properties.
It came to the notice of people that the public pathway leading from Kite Hill across the field to the railway bridge has now “sprouted” the foundations of a house across the above route. As the result of protests sent to the Council a stop has been put on the building of this house until, I guess, the matter has been investigated. Colour analysis is a good subject for a dreary February evening. We were shown a colour spectrum broken down into four seasons of the year – Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter. With the use of a variety of colour scarves one can finally find out which season is for you. So we went away from the meeting to have a look through our wardrobes, establish which colours are ours then in some instances it was off to the charity shops to part with our precious clothes. How many have an abundance of black in their wardrobes? We were told to get rid of all the black items! Then for some it was off to the shops to spend out on new clothes. Our next meeting is on Monday 28th April, 7.30pm, Kempshott Village Hall when the title of the talk will be “Tarts’ Trotters.” Norah Sullivan
