Seasonal Arrangements
Very simple but lovely arrangements were made using a variety of leaves, herbs, and flowers. Our thanks to Rhona for guiding us through the evening.
Belly Dancing
Thanks to our wonderful instructor Sandrine we were shimmying and shaking – all while balancing ‘sabers’ on our heads.

Potato Printing for Grown-Ups
We had a great night getting our hands messy & working on designs for our printed tote bags – coming soon to our stall at Queen’s Park Day, Sunday 18th September 2016.
Bohemians and Bluestockings
A central London literary walk
The Bloomsbury Set were described as people who ‘lived in squares and loved in triangles’. We strolled through the Georgian squares of Bloomsbury and Fitzrovia to see the places where the famous writers lived, worked and loved. Virginia Woolf, Lytton Strachey, George Bernard Shaw, T S Eliot, W B Yeats and Charles Dickens are just some of the writers we met on this walk. Our Blue Badge guide tailored this walk for our group & so also focused on many of the influential women who lived & worked in the area; including Vanessa Bell, Marie Stopes, Lady Ottoline Morrell, Lizzie Siddall, Elizabeth Garrett Anderson, Louisa Brandreth Aldrich Blake, Dorothy Richardson, Noor Inayat Khan, Angelica Kaufman, Mary Ward.
