Planned to get us all in the mood for Valentines Day our February meeting was suitably fragrant. Sarah McCartney of 4160 Tuesdays gave us a funny, articulate and entertaining presentation about her micro perfumery business. As well as her range of wonderfully eclectic, modern and unusual perfumes she also creates bespoke scents for individuals, companies and events. She was so entertaining that there was hardly time to time to top up our glasses and as the end of the meeting approached there was a rush to buy her handbag sized samples. By time we left the room had taken on a heady atmosphere having all smelled and passed around testers of What I did on my holidays, Doe in the Snow, The Sexiest Scent on the Planet Ever, Sex Goddess, The Dark Heart of Old Havana. 

In other news we are still looking for a pianist for our March meeting which is a singing workshop run by the wonderful singer Barbara Höfling. If you have any ideas please get in touch.

The group of us that went to see Jane Eyre at The Rosemary Branch had a really wonderful evening and the play was another fantastic production with adaptation, direction and costumes by the talented Bryony J Thompson. We have several more trips coming up including a trip to Dicken’s House on 17th March, further details HERE.

Please see the various pages for full details of the book, knitting, jewellery and new sewing groups – all free to members.

Lastly there is a great page in the Middlesex Federation Newsletter covering our January Hula Hooping meeting and written by Leslie Sinoway. It can be downloaded as a pdf HERE.
