Happy New Year!

We opened again yesterday after a lovely break. I took down the tree and the decorations. Packed away our raggy wreaths and hoovered up the pine needles. The hub looks a little bit bare now. I mentioned this to Liz at knitting group and she asked what the next project is. I have a list of artists wanted to exhibit in 2013 so I need to get my hooks up. I did buy them but I put them somewhere safe! I need to find them again and ask Sparkly Sonia to bring a bit of 2013 sparkle to our hub with some of her spectacular artwork.

Clare who organises the new Gingerbread Group for single parents which meets at the hub on a monthly basis and is supported by the city councillors is also an artist and would like to exhibit her angel artwork at the hub. I don't think it's going to look bare for long.

Knitting group yesterday was a real joy. On the first day back, after a morning spent battling with a naked Christmas tree and my Henry Hoover I wasn't feeling much love for the day. Then noon came, my Lottie emerged from the practice rooms where she had made a den entertain herself, Liz came to run knitting group with her family and people just kept turning up and with them lots of hugs, endless tea and biscuits, games of dominoes, oodles of stories, donkey rides, lots of squeals and the hub was back to how it should be. Phew!

I am now getting to grips with a new timetable at the hub.
