Hi Everyone and Happy Diwali to all our friends.

It's been quite a time. In fact the last time a post was written was 29th July. Due to personal circumstances the website was put on hold.

TOG returned on the 9th September after a well earned summer break for the volunteers.

Lots of Artwork, Crafts, Jewellery, Poetry and socializing has been going on during this time. Far too much for me to write in this post. Jennifer prepares wonderful food week after week for us to indulge in, and Mary and Ann busy themselves in the kitchen. I feel worn out writing about it all.

CRAFT TABLE

We have been lucky enough to have Dorethea helping out with the crafts. This week she made the most beautiful Christmas Polish Stars. She used white paper and decorated the tips with blue sparkle. However they can also be made with left over Christmas paper, coloured paper or even old magazines and comics. Must confess they are tricky to make to begin with, but once you get the hang of it, it's a great sense of achievement.

We also did a group painting. We painted two large canvases which could be placed side by side to make a greater scene. It turned out very well.

WATER COLOUR CLASS

Jennifer worked with water colour and collage. I managed to grab one picture before everyone packed their work away.

JEWELLERY with Marilyn

As usual everyone wanted to make a piece of jewellery to take home for themselves or to give away as a present.

Angie has been coming every week giving Dance with Exercises classes to anyone who wants to join in. It's always a full afternoon and a mad rush to pack everything away ready for another day.

Keep a look out for our Christmas event!!!!
