TALES of life as a tourist guide enlivened the most recent meeting of the Fair Oak branch of the Women's Institute.

From bickering travellers and rain-soaked campsites to beautiful scenery and trips abroad, Mary Tedd's anecdotes provided an insight into the highs and lows of her trade.

The next meeting of the group will be at 7.30pm on Wednesday, October 25, at Fair Oak village hall.
