WHAT ARE WE DOING?
We thought it would be nice to start a conversation about what we're all currently doing with our time... Alex: I've completely rediscovered my passion for poetry and creating visual art, I'm doing lots of writing and painting. I've been playing a game with my friends called 'Creativity is Courage', whoever you're playing with gives you a word and you have to use it to birth a poem in ten minutes! Becky: I've been spring cleaning. I've bagged up anything I want to take to charity when we are out of isolation and other stuff I want to recycle or throw. I recommend decluttering as it gets your body moving, endorphins going and clears your head. Sian: My activity has been sequin art (honestly guys, have a go! Cannot recommend enough). Check it out here.
