A few words from Isobel about the yoga sessions; ‘We have completed our first couple of months of yoga in the beautiful Talking Shed on the acre. I would like to thank everybody who attended – you were all so brave for joining something new and for creating a brilliant couple of groups.’

On Monday Kelley & Kate hosted the final week of the current parenting course. It was lovely to hear how much the parents had enjoyed the sessions, learning little techniques and tips to help life at home be a little calmer.

This week Men in Sheds have been busy continuing work on several projects in the late Autumn sunshine.

Fruit buds, non-fruit bearing shoots, spurs, water shoots - what do these have in common? Thanks to John Negus a group of our volunteers are now well versed in why, how, when and what should be pruned on an apple tree!

Wednesday saw the return of different smells wafting out of the cabin as the cookery courses were underway. Six families from Potters Gate Primary School made chicken and mushroom pie and the smells and delight from the cabin were lovely on a dull November day.

This week we welcomed the local Primary school children and their families to our well ventilated space2cook kitchen!

Coronavirus Update
In light of the recent Government announcements on further restrictions introduced on Thursday 5th November, we want to let our volunteers and all those involved in the acre know that we are still open and are able to offer support.

We were pleased to welcome students from the University of Creative Arts (UCA) who are making a series of short films about space2grow as part of their coursework. This week they were filming our fantastic Cookery Club in action with Coral as they prepared scones for a tea time treat!

The first parenting course came to a close on Monday evening and although restrictions were in place and the course content was adapted to keep everyone safe, the feedback from those who attended showed it had been incredibly worthwhile

Natalie's Friday session had a challenging task of tackling the large leylandii that runs next to the path. It had become very overgrown and it needed a good prune to bring it within ‘arms length’ and hopefully more manageable for future trimmings.
