We had an ambitious activity at my Friendship Club today. One of our guests is a skilled flower arranger and she suggested that she could run a workshop which would show everybody how to create a long-lasting Christmas table-piece.
It started in muddles and mayhem and I must admit I was beginning to feel like a primary school teacher with a very naughty class! Then suddenly, everybody settled down, we all helped each other and soon there was that happy quietness that descends when people are being creative and feeling fulfilled.
Everybody made a decoration they were happy with and many were particularly pleased, as they never imagined they had skills in flower arranging. It was a good day.
