Make it Wild
What a great Zoom talk we had last night by Helen Neave from Make it Wild about how to bring nature into your garden and foraging for food and medicinal purposes (info provided by Helen Compton, Herbalist). Informative, beautiful photos and definitely food for thought! Take a look at the Make it Wild website - loads to see and items to buy.
July
Life after Lockdown
Our July meeting was entitled "Life after Lockdown" with Judith Wardell, a local midlife and retirement coach. Judith proceeded to tell us how she had reinvented her career from HR Professional to business owner and now coach. This was followed by a fun exercise incorporating our feelings during these unprecedented times of lockdown and coping with life during the covid 19 pandemic as well as how we might adapt our lives post- pandemic. The evening was very thought provoking and encouraged everyone to reassess how we are living. Thank you to Judith for a really interesting talk. Further info can be found at www.timeofyourlife.me.uk
