Catching-Up With Friends

posted: Saturday, 15 November 2014

It's been a long time since I managed to get to my London bead group and I've missed everyone so much. But fortunately today I managed to get there and spent the day catching-up, chatting and laughing. Plus eating good food kindly provided by 2 lovely ladies from The Roti King.

I even managed to get some beading done and created some components for a pattern and kit I'll be launching in December (make sure you sign up to my newsletter to find out when and get the discount code).

Sadly I had to leave early, though I was excited about my next appointment, as I could have stayed and chatted for hours more. Being amongst like-mineded friends and getting to share with them is so good for the soul. Getting to see them all more often is one reason I've cut down my travelling so here's hoping it happens.

Next up was a trip to see my roller derby team, The London Rockin Rollers, play their last bout of the year and, even better, play an amazingly nail-biting game and win.

Then there was the after-party so cue lots more chatting and laughing.

It's been a long while since I got to spend time with many of the people I saw today and I had maybe my best day of the year. I came home with cheeks sore from smiling, a hoarse throat from cheering and laughing and a newly-warmed heart from all the love and friendliness I encountered.

Also a resolution to give playing roller derby one more try...
