I know it is now mid-January, but Christmas was such a whirlwind that I am still feeling the need to spread the cheer! In the Chinese zodiac, 2025 is the year of the Wood Snake. The Snake, representing intuition, strategy and elegance and, when paired with the Wood element, 2025 emphasises adaptability, creativity and long-term planning. Already a huge fan of adaptability and creativity myself, I am continuing to work on long-term plans, so this Newsletter is focusing on the New Year timetable!
Talking of exciting plans, make sure you scroll to the end of this email for a fun opportunity for grown-ups too!

Me time!
If you are unable to get hold of me on a Wednesday morning, it is because I am escaping my phone and will most likely be braving an invigorating sea swim, relaxing in a yoga class or taking my cheeky dog Nelly on long wooded walk. It’s ‘back on the admin’ in the afternoon!
8.40 – 12.30 Patcham High School LAMDA Coaching
3.15 – 4.30 Patcham Infants School, Year Two Drama Club
One place available!
9.30 – 10.20 Tango Tots – Patcham Methodist Church

Party Time!!!
Since Christmas, it has been sequins galore with ‘Strictly’ taking the top spot over Frozen, as the most popular party theme! We do have Mermaids and Fairies creeping their way back up the party chart though in the next couple of months… Personally, I’m hoping that Mary Poppins is going to make another appearance soon, as she is my absolute favourite!
Tuesday 18th Feb – Puppet Making Workshop. Patcham Methodist Church
Wednesday 19th Feb – Tango Tots at The One Garden
Friday 20th Feb – Puppet Making at The One Garden
What better way to fundraise, than to DANCE! Yes! I am running 3 silent discos on 29th, 31stJan and 1stFeb – one to suit all tastes! Please find all the details below. Your support would be hugely appreciated.
Morning walk/dance to The Chatri, from 10am (weather depending, dogs welcome).
Over 18s Silent Disco! Bar, snacks, lights (including glow lights). 7-8:30pm. Definitely one to grab a few friends together for a laugh and a much needed bop!
Morning Silent Disco – children welcomed – at PHS Drama Studio, 10-11am.
Tickets are available via sQuid for PHS parents or Collectiv if you don’t have a sQuid account
The Friday is £10 a ticket but I am also offering the two other sessions on a voluntary donation basis. Dancing is wonderful for our wellbeing (both our mental health and general fitness).
笑口常开 (xiào kǒu cháng kāi) – May your year be filled with abundance of smiles and laughter.
