In November we welcome along two young women who have created something very beautiful but I'll let them introduce themselves to you:-

 Lindsay Berry  - Life on the Ocean Waves to Published Author

Come along to hear one of our amazing Live Laugh Love ladies sharing her story – she went from a midwife in the NHS to a life on the Ocean Waves spending two years away sailing halfway around the world. Not only that but with a dream of writing her own novel she discovered the most wonderful subject for her published novel – here is Lindsay’s own

Introduction:-  How do you go from being an inexperienced sailor to sailing across oceans? What do you need to learn if you are going to be one of the key crew members and how do you plan for days, maybe weeks at sea? In addition, at the end of it all, how is it possible to walk away from the dream?

Lindsay Berry was working as a midwife in the NHS when she met a man with the ambition to sail around the world. When they fell in love, his dream became hers. What was it like, to live in a confined area and leave the safety and security of her home?  Hear about her voyage and the experiences, which changed her life. 

Her dream of writing a novel about the voyage did not materialise but she dreamt of writing her great novel one-day. Whilst living in Spain, she heard about the Stolen Babies of Spain and the seed of the idea for her novel was planted. 'Silencio' is a fictionalised account of the true-life events of the trafficking of thousands of babies. 

This will be a really wonderful talk so be sure to book and come along to meet Lindsay (if you haven’t already) and hear more about her interesting and varied life.

At our November Ringwood lunch, we welcome Lucie Cormack who will be giving us a real insight into the benefits and different styles of Nordic Walking – how does it differ to using walking poles. Nordic Walking is something that is enjoyed by people of all ages and all abilities; it gives an all over body workout but without the strain on the joints. Lucie will be bringing along a range of different poles including Activator poles used for rehab by the NHS, they are especially effective for people with stability issues, Parkinson’s or those who have weaker wrists. We will have a demonstration of these and of the Smovey Rings, these are a general health and wellness tool that combine exercise and vibration which have particular beneficial applications for Parkinson’s disease. Smovey was designed to offer an increased level of fitness, happiness and relief but stimulating the body and mind in a fun and enjoyable way, free of heavy lifting or impact training – the provide Health in your Hands.
