We continued down Marbury Lane and followed the path toward the Flashes but turning off to go along the leafy avenue of bushes and trees with the Flashes on the left. Eventually we reached Marbury Road again which we followed back to the car park after a lovely walk and plenty of chatter.

A very different read for us, a detective story with two main themes, with lots of other stories going on in the background. A female Oxford professor being accused of sexual assault by a male student alongside DI Fawley retracing an old case when the perpetrator, who&#8217;s always maintained his innocence is released from prison. An interesting discussion and our group had different views \u2013 the average score was 6.5 out of 10<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Art Group<\/strong> &#8211; the theme for our May meeting was &#8216;Insects&#8217;. Some of our regulars weren&#8217;t able to join us this month, but our members still produced some lovely pictures, some of them to be completed at home<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"149\" class=\"wp-image-9701\" style=\"width: 150px;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.whitleywi.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/scarf.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.whitleywi.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/scarf.jpg 1044w, http:\/\/www.whitleywi.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/scarf-300x297.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.whitleywi.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/scarf-1024x1015.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/www.whitleywi.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/scarf-150x150.jpg 150w, http:\/\/www.whitleywi.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/scarf-768x761.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/>  <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"145\" class=\"wp-image-9700\" style=\"width: 150px;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.whitleywi.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/lady-bird.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.whitleywi.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/lady-bird.jpg 1468w, http:\/\/www.whitleywi.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/lady-bird-300x289.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.whitleywi.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/lady-bird-1024x988.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/www.whitleywi.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/lady-bird-768x741.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.whitleywi.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/lady-bird-150x145.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/>  <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"183\" class=\"wp-image-9699\" style=\"width: 150px;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.whitleywi.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/butterfly-red.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.whitleywi.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/butterfly-red.jpg 1159w, http:\/\/www.whitleywi.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/butterfly-red-246x300.jpg 246w, http:\/\/www.whitleywi.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/butterfly-red-841x1024.jpg 841w, http:\/\/www.whitleywi.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/butterfly-red-768x935.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.whitleywi.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/butterfly-red-123x150.jpg 123w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/>  <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"113\" class=\"wp-image-9702\" style=\"width: 150px;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.whitleywi.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/wasp.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.whitleywi.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/wasp.jpg 1960w, http:\/\/www.whitleywi.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/wasp-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.whitleywi.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/wasp-1024x768.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/www.whitleywi.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/wasp-768x576.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.whitleywi.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/wasp-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, http:\/\/www.whitleywi.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/wasp-150x113.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Baking Beauties<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our members took a break from baking, and visited the very highly rated Poppie Rose Tearooms in Northwich.
