Set square, big hammer, chainsaw, vernier gauge, welding googles and long nails. Gosh, I’d was drawing up my list of tools needed for making my Easter bonnet for the Oasis Easter parade; now all I needed was a design. Perhaps I could download some plans from the Internet, now where’s my phone?And it came to … More Oasis Easter 2022

Dear Oasis ladies, partners, friends and allies, My apologies for a rather belated report of the Oasis meeting held on the 15th January. I wasn’t sure how many people would attend as January is always an iffy month and many are still concerned about covid. However, 18 people attended and we had a tremendous buffet … More Review of January Oasis Meeting
Well here we are at the end of another year and looking forward to a better next. Everything was going so well until omicron surfaced and infection rated went exponential. I remarked on infection rates over a year ago, as being in their hundred, but now we are seeing them in their thousands. I always … More December Oasis Blog
For once my BBC weather app was correct. So, glammed up to my false eyelashes, I stepped out of my front door into 50mph winds and lashing rain! The drive along the A47 was horrendous but I arrived safely at the Marsh Harrier. As soon as I walked in the door, the welcome and warmth … More Oasis Christmas Meal 2021
I had a good feeling about our November meeting. 24 people signed up and it felt as if we had turned the corner after a few meetings with low numbers. In the event, two of our members were indisposed with the after effects of their covid boosters so we ended up with a really lovely … More Oasis Meeting – November 2021
Dear Oasis ladies, partners, friends and allies, I want to give you advance warning of what will happen at our November Oasis meeting on 20th. But first – The Rocky Horror Show.

Well it’s that time already! September has come and is almost gone. What have you been upto this month? I’ve been to two productions at Norwich Theatre Royal, which I haven’t stepped into for nearly 24 months. I went with my good friend Vicky to see “Grayson Perry” and “Six the musical”. Did I feel … More September Oasis Blog
When Serena set out the tables for our second f2f Oasis meeting she wondered why so few had expressed an interest in coming. Apart from concerns over an increase in covid cases, last minute illness and other unexpected reasons she had counted 13 and carefully set 3 tables out with floral tablecloths and decorated flowers. … More September Oasis
How the months fly by. I was only remaking yesterday as I sat down for dinner around 8pm that the nights were drawing in and it was almost dark. There was always a greater turn out at Oasis in the winter months compared to the summer ones, as in the winter it was easier to … More August Oasis Blog
Dear Oasis ladies, partners, friends and allies. Well, we did it! A slightly more downsized version of how I imagined the ‘grand reopening’ would be, but, nevertheless, we returned to St George’s Hall after an absence of 17 months.
