Apart from the copious amounts of laughing and the brain farts as we try and do new things - so much of Wednesday evening is about leaving those heavy things weighing you down at the doorway and just letting go for an hour.

Whether you've had a hard day at work, a hard challenging day parenting, a relentless continous need to follow up and advocate for your child, you're going through health worries and concerns, dealing with relationship issues, dealing with the menopause, being sandwiched between looking after elderly relatives and your family ....

Looking at us and with the laughter going on in the room - you wouldn't think any of those things were happening in our varied lives at the moment.

But they do - we're women and there's a lot going on right now ...

And lots of us leave things at the door for an hour, each week - just to have an escape and help our wellbeing.

Here's a quick look into one of those hours ....

 

And in case you spotted and wondered about the pink flags that made an appearance .... we have a very exciting announcement.  More to follow soon!!
