A big thank you to Lucy for hosting the Mindful Street Wisdom event at Brunswick Centre!

A group of eight came together to explore and discover the world around us through a more mindful lens.

It was a lovely opportunity to pause, reflect and share meaningful takeaways. During our wrap-up, we explored how consciously shifting our attention can help us notice the little things we often overlook in our busy daily lives.

The biggest lesson? Slow down, look closer, and find wonder in the ordinary.

A wanderful reminder that sometimes, the most meaningful discoveries happen when we simply take our time and pay attention.

Thank you, Lucy, for guiding us on this thoughtful and inspiring journey!

Wendy at Incredible Edible Barnet organised another amazing beanfeast and Goodgym sent three people over to help out, join in and fill up on beans (if we weren't already). Cherian arrived early enough to help set up tables, so earns an extra-special mention, while Rupesh and I made sure everything was safe to eat.

The event had games with bean bags, bean counting and a range of excellent card games promoting sustainability designed by Dave from Sense Making (who also worked with us on air quality monitoring a year or two ago). And did I mention the beans to eat? There were four dips to try and rate your favourite, plus four or five bean stews and, finally, about eight different bean-based cakes - flans, muffins, balls, flapjacks and cake-cakes - many using chickpea flour.

By the end of it, we were all fairly stuff and there was extra to take home, so we stuffed ourselves some more.
