Catch up time...last Thursday which was our joint venture (The Craft Hub and The Hub on the Green) for International Women's Day. We held a crafty swap and it was really good fun. We raised £270 and had a great time, met lots of new people and ate lots of cake.
We had some great helpers. Han, Pip and I were there. Lovely Sue ran the raffle, Nicola from Mrs Gingers Cakes baked for the event and Wendy was a big help tidying up and taking any unswapped and unwon (!) raffle prizes to Oxfam. Thank you everyone. It is magic when people muck in and a job gets done unexpectedly quickly. A big thank you to Rory, Tom, Dan and Florian who work next door and who were forced into buying cake.
Friday was gentle. We had lovely visitors in for coffee. One lady was such great company but it turned out she lives bloomin' miles away. So I asked her to move! David (our jam maker) popped by and looked really well and was in great spirits. A lovely man called Adrian came in and we had a chat in the corridor. He's another one that I am sure could teach us/guide us at the hub. Penny's vegetables arrived. Tonight Lottie and I are having cauliflower and almond soup and last night we had kale and bacon. Penny is doing us the world of good.
On Friday afternoon, Sarah Hewlett ran her self-help workshop on relaxation (stress & anxiety). It was such a good workshop. She is a wonderful teacher and I felt so sleepy and calm by the end. I really wanted to curl up like a dormouse and sleep for a week but obviously couldn't. I did have a lovely weekend though so I think the Sarah and no laptop combo worked well. I hope Sarah will run more sessions in the future, so if you would like me to contact you with details of further courses as they come up, let me know.
Sarah is also one of the panel on Health Question Time (see below).
