Suggested Activities
Members of the Gardening Circle have been making great suggestions for potting up cuttings, sowing seeds, rescuing orchids and maintaining your garden furniture
The Yoga Circle
Mariana’s yoga group usually meets every Monday and Thursday but while classes are on hold you can still carry on keeping fit ! She live streamed Kids Yoga at Home on Wednesday at 4:00 p.m and for yoga for adults at 5.30pm on Thursday. Look out for more from Mariana on FB
Members of the Mosaics Circle are completing projects at home. Karen and Elizabeth sent us pictures of their wall friezes
Anshu and Sara have taught themselves how to quilt from Youtube and are enjoying creating quilts and wallhangings. There are unlimited resources on the internet so take some time time to explore. There are art classes, crochet, quilting….anything you have an interest in
Members of the art circle are still painting and Nazreen has sent in a lovely floral watercolour. The artists are also practising sketching noses
Karen from the Quilter’s Circle has been busy with fabric and in addition to quilts she has been making soft toys, a quilted book cover and a christmas table runner.
Members of the mahjongg circles are teaching their families to play this engrossing game. It is a great time filler
The Pilates Circle
Phillipa, the Pilates Circle leader, has kindly shared these Pilates exercises. They are easy to do at home!
Keep moving!
The Literary Lunch circle’s next book is The Other Half of Augusta Hope by Joanna Glen
If the circle is unable to meet as planned on 15th April due to the current restrictions, Karen will be organising telephone discussions in pairs.
