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.

What is Roaming?
Roaming means to wander, or travel freely, with no particular destination. In fact we meet most Thursdays at the Breadline Centre in Penzance, or sometimes nearby, outdoors. That’s pretty specific. We may walk sometimes, explore in a more literal sense. But mainly we explore the connections that bring us together and keep us coming back. We make drawings or music or lunch or conversation. Through these we both share what is unique about each of us and confirm what we have in common. We share a respect for ourselves, one another, and the structures that make it possible for us to be together, such as St. Petrocs, or The Community Fund. We make time for one anther, make observations, associations, let ourselves be curious. We wander together on a journey of discovery.
