Book club with the most wonderful host Aimee 💕

📚 Book Club 📚

Can you you see this post 👀 if you can, please give us a comment because Facebook keeps hiding our posts 😔

Less than two weeks until we meet for Book Club again
-I can't wait!

📅 Monday 21st September
⏰ 6.30pm - 8.30pm
📍 Foresters Arms

The themes are

🪄 Magic
🐽 Animals

Read one book/ read seven/read none but still turn up because you'll still bring something to the table!

As we've said since we started - this is all about meeting people, having a natter, supporting each other and maybe some book chat! Don't ever feel you can't come because you have been too busy or not in the right headspace to read (or listen) to a book.

Those of you that have been beavering away... What have you all been reading?

Give everyone some ideas!

Everyone is welcome at our Book Club, it costs nothing but we would appreciate you buying drinks/snacks /food to put some pennies into the small business that needs our support 💵

Our very first LSoC Community Exhibition has been featured in Wigan Today ! 🎨✨

I wrote a little article about why we’re bringing creatives from across Wigan Borough together and challenging the idea that art has to look a certain way to be recognised.

If you create, you are an artist and this exhibition is about giving everyone the chance to proudly share what they do. ❤️

We’ll be sharing more details about all our amazing artists throughout this week, and there’ll be live music from Rob Jones on the night too!

Have a read and please help us spread the word by sharing!

This is exactly what our community exhibition is all about ❤️
Stepping outside your comfort zone, trying something new and being brave enough to share something you’ve created with others.

Jac's piece is absolutely beautiful and I can’t wait to see it displayed alongside all the other incredible work from our local community 🥰

The face of someone who has officially crashed 😂

I went pretty much straight back into work after significant surgery last week and I’ve completely run myself into the ground.

I’ve not been looking after myself, I’ve just kept going, running on fumes and convincing myself I’m fine like i'm superhuman...I have figured out that im actually not 😂

So I’m taking my own advice for once and having a proper long weekend off.

Any work-related messages, questions or emails won’t be answered until next week. No admin, no laptop, no “quick five minute jobs” that turn into hours 😂

I need to actually rest and recover for a change.

Thanks for understanding ❤️

Such a brilliant evening painting Highland cows at Brunchello! 🐮🌿🍂

Whether going for the Mediterranean olive-branch crown look or getting stuck into full autumn vibes with cozy scarves and pumpkins, everyone smashed it. So many unique styles and amazing results across the room!

Huge thanks to everyone who came down and made it such a lovely, fun night out.
