We did it!!!
We created some gorgeous dorset buttons in our craft session last night. These took some serious concentration as we had to learn three new techniques of casting, spoking/ laying and the rounding stitches to fill in the middle.
But the results are fantastic !! Well done everyone.

I am on holiday next week so there will no Tuesday craft group.
We are back on Tuesday 16th June where we will be making driftwood sailing boats.
There are still a couple of spaces if anyone else would like to come and join us. Full details can be found in the events listing.

A great afternoon with the Wednesday tribe. Pub lunch and then a natter in the beer garden with a bit of a sing along to the music playing on the big screen thrown in for good measure (complete with air guitar and invisible microphones).
People assume that a mental health and wellbeing group is going to be all doom and gloom......when infact that couldn't be further than the truth.

Good morning everyone and happy Wellbeing wednesday.😃

The majority of the uk just cant cope with a heatwave. Thats a fact.
For most of the year we survive under grey skies, drizzle and temperatures that require at least a jumper. We are not at all prepared for hot weather with our insulated houses, no air conditioning and relying soley on a ten year old knackered fan to push warm air around the room and convince us its cooling us down. 🥵
I considered setting up camp in the freezer aisle at tesco as heat radiated from me like the surface of the sun. Waterfalls of sweat pooling underneath my chin if i dared to move more than a metre from the fan, and my hair stuck glamourously to my forehead like a slipping toupee.
Im painting a picture with words that im sure many of you can relate to. You know me, always keeping it real🤣.

If you have not had at least 20 conversations over the last few days about the weather ....are you even british???
When a heatwave arrives its far more than a weather event, it is a national personality shift and a time of lots of theatrical suffering.
But......there is hope! After a couple of days of generating enough body heat to power a small village, the sudden cool breeze that we have been gifted this morning feels like a cause for national celebration!!!! 🎉
I have actually put make up on without the fear of it sliding ungracefully off my face . Our Mind It group are off to do what brits do best when the weather is nice....
We are off to the pub for lunch in the beergarden...where i am sure the ' hasnt it been hot' conversations will continue.
Good food, good company , and a cooler sunny day make for a lovely afternoon.
We are meeting at The Haden Cross pub at 12 noon if anyone else would like to come and join us.

Enjoy the breeze everyone.
Have a lovely wednesday. 🌞

I have just refilled my calm balm pot ready to teach you all how to make this on Tuesday evening.
There are so many balms available to buy but it is so much more special to know how to make your own. This way you know all of the ingredients and can control how much of each aromatherapy oil you use to customise your own calming balm.
We will learn about base butters, carrier oils and the benefits of each aromatherapy oil.
I may even disclose the recipes for my other wellbeing balms at the workshop!!
