Jam and Jerusalem, a clarion call,
Euphemism for those ladies down the village hall,
The fabulous stalwarts of the W.I,
Who’ll run a raffle or bake a pie.
Who redefine the words charitable, compassionate, noble,
Whose famous nude calendar went viral, went global.
Who’ve raised loads of dosh for numerous charities,
The W.I., would you applaud them please!?

Thank you Suzanne!
Don’t know much about ’em -but any group that gets together to help others is worth discussing
They are awesome!
The WI is Women’s Institute, I believe? And yes, very British. Glad there still is something that feels so much so.
It is! Great bunch of women!
Sound like a wonderful group – and so brave (a nude calendar?)!!
Yes – they made so much Money from it! The film is called Calendar Girls. It’s brilliant!
I have yet to watch Calendar Girls. I totally need to!
You do! Great movie.
