Yearly Archive: 2015

Christmas is recognised by some of us at Roaming whilst some prefer to celebrate midwinter in other ways. However, we had a special meal on 11th December to which we invited our directors and advisors. We cooked vegan lasagne which we ate with jacket potatoes and salad. We also made apple crumble from Michael’s homegrown apples and Nancy brought along a whole community of gingerbread people. 

Otherwise December has been much as usual with people coming along on Thursdays to meet together, be creative and eat lunch. We have plans for the New Year including visiting artists, field trips and an Open Day that is pencilled in for Thursday 12th February, 10-2. 

Shallal are in residence at Porthmeor Studio 11, St.Ives for 3 months and invited us to spend a day there with artist Laura Menzies. We had a very happy day doing pretty  much what we usually do at Breadline on Thursdays. We went out for a fantastic curry and salad lunch at the Farmer’s Market in the Guild Hall where we fell into a discussion about who we might like to invite to the group as visiting artists in terms of skills we would like to learn. These seemed to focus on survival skills and included people who could teach us foraging, bodging, weaving with rushes, building shelters, charcoal burning, whittling and creating an earth oven.
