We have a big booking next month – tree planting, lunch for 40 and farm walk for a company that sponsors some of our new woodland. We have a new yoga group starting that evening. So it’s going to be busy.

Now we have someone wanting to rent the centre for a film show and talk, which might, as they point out, interest the yoga group. They have a guest coming who can only make it that evening…

To say I’m torn is an understatement. I don’t want to let anyone down. I would like to fit everything in. But most of all I would like to hide until it was all over.

We also have two days in the next month where we have two events on at the same time. It’s nice to be bringing money in to finance the centre but it always seems like four times the work to do double the events. It also makes me wonder what is so attractive about some days and so unattractive about others. Even in the middle of all this doubling and trebling up we still have seven days when nothing is booked.

All that and I have to get my nettle soup recipe ready for a school group on Friday…
