Meet 'Our' Ukrainians

We have 44 displaced Ukrainians living in Preuilly or the surrounding villages. One of them, Natalyia N, asked if they could take over the community café, Lieutopie, on last Sunday afternoon. The Ukrainians arrived armed with coffee and biscuits, which they laid out on the tables, then served coffee to anyone who turned up. The event was designed to allow locals to come and meet our new residents and interact in a warm and friendly environment.

Ukrainian embroidered runners were laid out on the tables.

Patrick brought his accordion and we had a bit of singing and dancing.
