Wonderful Weekday Workshop


Today has been pretty good for me.  I woke up and the sun was shining and as night falls it is shining, albeit sleepily, still.  I ran a workshop in the most stunning location yet, Chaffeymoor Grange at Bourton inWiltshire.  The workshop was part of a reward / chill-out day for the dedicated and hard-working staff of a well-known local company geared towards helping others (I will post the name of the company if given permission).  The group was made up of staff from all departments and the mood was relaxed and jovial, lots of banter and laughter interspersed with intense moments of silence and concentration.  I LOVED IT, and what made the whole thing even more enjoyable for me was the very clear pride each individual had on their face at the end of the session.  Real delight and surprise at what they had created out of simple driftwood and debris from our very own beaches.  And the clincher for me???

  1. hi sam - thanks for your lovely comments over at mine - and pleased to 'meet' you.
