Morning After Watford Event - Link4Coffee - Hitchin Market

The morning after the Watford Link4Drinks, was spent chatting with the lovely +Catherine Baldwin and +tonia nixon ar Catherines home.  Thanks to you and your family once again for a lovely stay, you all made us feel very welcome.

As a wonderful surprise the lovely +Chris Ogle had arranged for +tonia nixon, +Gerri Riddiough  and myself to attend the Link4Coffee event in Hitchin Market at a really beautiful art gallery and cafe, the Copper Beech Art Gallery, with warm and friendly staff, yummy food and amazing art.



The event is hosted by the gorgeous +Kate Griffiths who I have had the pleasure and honour of getting to know up until this day only on Facebook, so this was our first meeting, and the look on her face when we walked in was priceless.  It was such a lovely event

Here we have +Kate Griffiths  and +Chris Ogle with Belinda, Usha and another Lisa flicking through the Link4Growth book during the event.

Kate, is the founder and CEO of Whole Self Leadership, which offers a range of services.   I am planning on organising a Colour Therapy Workshop here in Derbyshire in the spring of 2015 :)   

One very interesting conversation we had was regarding a workshop on leadership that Kate and her colleague are facilitating for nurses and midwives working for the NHS - anyone interested can contact Kate herself or check out the NHS Leadership Academy

In the background, myself, Tonia, Keith and Gerri

I also had the opportunity to chat to the lovely +Jen Tiller of who has such an interesting story to tell, a real spirit full of love and healing energy.  I definitely would LOVE to go and have an MOT and a visit the Snow leopard Sanctuary.  Jen is also the founder of Healerzone and Reality Quest.

Also attending was the amazing and very interesting character of Keith W Ecott who is a life transformation coach, and a new host for Link4Growth -Milton Keynes, Bedfordshire and Herts district lots to discuss their - safe to say Tonia, Gerri and I were riveted.

Afterwards we walked around Hitchin Market which was heaving with such a variety of stalls and goods, from dresses and clothes, fruit and vegetables, bread and take away food to car boot type stalls

I can honestly say I have thoroughly enjoyed the last 36 hours, spending time with lovely, awake and caring people, new and reacquainting with.  A HUGE Thanks and hugs go out to +Gerri Riddiough for driving us down to Watford and back home again, to +Chris Ogle for arranging the surprise visit to +Kate Griffiths' event and to everyone I met for the first time or more.

This was where Tonia and I stood and enjoyed the view while waiting for Gerri to finish at the market - lovely and relaxing

Thank you Kate my lovely for the use of her photos for this blogpost xxx

Check out what I discovered after I left this event in Hitchin

Little Discoveries - Bob Marley Coffee in Hitchin

following the Hitchins Coffee Event and a walk around the makets -
I discovered the little Marley Coffee stall, by following the tunes I could hear, some one, somewhere was playing my favourite kinda music, personally I love the Marley herbal soft drinks, as well as their business ethics, I had to try a coffee,

Boxer the guy who runs the little stall from the back of a Piaggio Ape, takes REAL care in preparing your coffee by hand, everything is spotlessly clean before and after each brew takes a while but OMGosh its definitely worth waiting for, delicious !

Backgammon Tables while away the time

I wished I had time to sit and watch people play backgammon, by the riverside, listening to reggae while sipping my latte, sadly we had a long journey ahead of us and had to hit the road.

The stall was also featured in the Guardian recently

I for one wish him ALL the very best for the future, much prosperity and abundance #OneLove

Link4Drinks Watford

I have to say I really did enjoy meeting so many people at Watford Link4Drinks event on the 16th October.

It was a lovely drive down with +Gerri Riddiough and +tonia nixon  who had already driven from Redcar to mine in Derbyshire to pick me up and then off we went down to the Big Smoke lol

First I would love to say a really HUGE thank you to +Catherine Baldwin and her lovely family for putting +tonia nixon and myself up for the night.

After meeting Catherine and her lovely family, we were off to a lovely pub called the "Moon Under Water"

Link4Coffee - Child Friendly Event

The last few weeks have been flying by at such a rapid rate, I truly haven't known whether I am on my head or my elbow.

Link4Growth- Derbyshire 

I have been mega busy with lots of projects, one of which is +Link4Growth Derbyshire where we held our very first #link4coffee (child friendly event), this one was for self employed, home educators, the right people were there, as always and the conversation was as interesting as ever, it was real fun, watching the kids disappear and enjoy the facilities at Lanky Bills, a big thank you to the owner Jill for graciously letting us congregate there.  

And thanks too to Andy Jones of +Bouncing Carrot Photography as well as Tracy White, Mikey and all the other children for coming along.
