I am still recovering from my fall and my toes I hasten to add in parts are a deep purple to black.  At least now my feet themselves are not painful.  On a more positive note I would like to thank those of you who came to our "Yuletide Angel Plus" workshop last Saturday at Epping.  The energy as always was fantastic and we all enjoyed a small repast which included cakes, which John had kindly donated to the proceedings.  Even though not expensive items all of the group had received by way of the raffle a secret santa gift and we will be doing something similar for our first event of the year in February with Alan Albiston on 23rd February, but back to this year and our last events of 2018.

We will be at Woodford as usual on the 11th and 18th of December.  On the 11th we have a normal circle starting at 7.30 pm (arrival from 7 pm).  Then on the 18th December (weather permitting) we will be there all day from 2.30 pm until 8.30 to 9 pm (a break around 5.30 to 6.30 pm).  It will be a mix workshop with one or two surprises.  Obviously a small Yuletide Celebration too. We are also the mediums for the last Monday service at Woodford on the 17th December, which starts at 2 pm and as you probably all know by now Iris Klein was voted  the President of the Church will as always be chairing (www.woodfordchurch.com).  The last service of the year will be a charity event on the 20th December at 2 pm with Paul Bathgate as medium. The church will then close until the first week in January.  One quick note and this also applies to Epping any ice and snow the church will be closed and the same with our venue in Epping as I am not looking forward to any chance of a fall and we would hate anybody else to have one. 

Lastly I will make comment on our magical poppets (see details in Lucya Starza's book on poppets.  We are pleased to say 36 of the wee poppets have sped their ways to other climes including some across the pond.  All money made from the sale of these as well as our other  knitted items goes to swelling our fund to start our own sanctuary.  The cost is just £10 plus postage and they have crystals as well as herbs inside.  Look out for our naughty New Year Gnomes.  Don't forget also if you wish to make your own Christmas Angel or Fairy there is easy to follow instruction of Lucya Starza's blog http://www.badwitch.co.uk/2018/12/craft-easy-to-make-angel-or-fairy-yule.html
