If you aren't aware of the Welsh tradition of rocking around your neighbourhood, demanding food and drink from people by knocking on their door while hidden under a sheet and toting a ribbon deked horse skull , wait, it gets better... and you can own one and raise money for charity! The Mari Lwyd is a hobby horse accompanied by a mob of mates, who around Christmas time visit their neighbours and demand entry through singing. Tradition dictates the homeowner rhyme back at them a refusal, and lo, you're in a rap battle with a dead horse. Artist Kelda works as Skulls and Sheets, and holds an annual art auction, raising money for different domestic violence charities, and this year I'm joining in!

You probably know that my creative space is my studio in my own home, and I count myself very lucky to have that room to devote to my small business and also my own hobbies. Not everyone can have a devoted space at home, but that shouldn't stop you indulging in hobbies, as there are such a wide range of ways to engage your brain, relax, try new skills, or even get fitter and healthier, and you can usually tailor those to the space you have - be it a room, the kitchen table, or even your lap when sitting on the sofa. I was named an expert in a Rent. article. Check out the featured article: 10 Fun Hobbies to Do at Home That Bring out Your Creative Side | Rent. I expected a lot of folks in the article to be talking in detail about specific hobbies, so took a slightly different line in my suggestion - what do you think about the advice I've given?  October 20th you'll be able to eat some ridiculously good food, take more home from various stalls, and browse a load of local artists, makers, traders, at The Garage Chilwell, 10.00am to 2.00pm Then October 26th and 27th The Dark Arts Market returns to give you all things strange, marvellous, creative over two days! Nottingham has LOTS to explore that weekend, well worth visiting for a day or the weekend and plotting in the various markets and activities. Are you planning on hitting up some great events for October?   |
