Extremely Linden

Friday, February 29, 2008

Have you proposed yet?

I'm writing this on Friday, 29th February, the one day in 4 years that a girl is traditionally allowed to propose to her sweetheart. And knowing how staid and tradition-bound anyone associated with Linden is ...

It's a big weekend: tomorrow, March 1st, is St David's Day, and Sunday is Mother's Day. (Have you sent your mum a card?!)

St David's Day is being celebrated in Mumbles with a Green Fayre at Southend Park. It's organised by the Council and various environmental bodies, but also includes Red Cafe. Tomorrow, for one day only, you can get FREE Welshcakes and tea and coffee at the cafe. It's open from 10 am - 4 pm but don't leave your visit too late in case they run out of home-made welshcakes. All the other usual goodies will be on sale as normal.

This falls in the middle of Fairtrade Fortnight and the cafe's been open for the last 3 weeks and is open again next week. A new feature is the Fairtrade stall. It's currently selling a variety of goods and the range will be increasing over the weeks.

This Sunday the students are leading the meeting looking at Jesus, Light of the World. The following Sunday, 9th March, it's Andrew Matthews with Jesus, Lamb of God.

Last Saturday's Bryn Haworth gig at Zac's Place was very successful with a large crowd who all enjoyed Bryn's excellent guitar-playing. Next up at Zac's in Martyn Joseph on 7th March at 8.00 pm. Tickets are £14. For more information call 07971 218644.
