Brunch, Still Life & Community Meditation
It's nearly spooky season...
It’s Saturday! And it’s looking like the perfect day to grab a toastie and a glass of vino from Penelope while meeting up with a pal or going solo with a book. Once again, this week is jam-packed with events, and I have nothing more to say, so let’s get right to it…
Don’t miss out, until next week - EJP x
