We did it!

What a weekend.  We had our own version of Thanksgiving on Saturday night – and in true Thanksgiving tradition, it took a week to get ready.  There were sweet potatoes to cook, pies to make, vegetables to chop and a turkey to buy…. but, somehow, it all came together in the end. 19 people sat down to Thanksgiving dinner a la BEANS and 19 people were actually fed and everything.  Sort of a mini miracle – although, if you’d seen how hard the staff worked, you wouldn’t say it was a miracle at all.  Just the accumulation of everyone’s hard work.  Thank you all!!

And we didn’t stop there.  On Sunday, it was the Stained Glass Christmas course.  There were angels, stars and Christmas trees springing up all over the place.  Cynthia (our specialist stained glass tutor) sure does know how to get production going!

Stained Glass with Cynthia Else

The Stained Glass Course with Cynthia Else actually became two courses.  There was a lot of interest and so we offered the event twice!  The first group came together on the 27th March and some fantastic work was produced.  We had everything from abstract shapes made up of squares to a flower and even an eye!  Where was my camera?????   I was more prepared for the second class on the 3rd.  Again, the group came up with some beautiful designs – one based on a piece by Eduardo Poalozzi which can apparently be found in a subway station in Barcelona (don’t ask).  And lunch – vegetable lasagne, salad, warm bread and CAKE!
