Cohousers at Halton Mosaic workshop

It is a while since 13th February when some of us took a break from a weekend of cohousing general meeting. That morning we went to Halton Community Centre to take part in a workshop led by Maggie Howarth, making clay figures of local people past and present, to be placed in a mosaic at the Centre.

Some of us made ourselves or other cohousers, such as a wheelbarrow load of the 2 youngest members, Martha and Polly, while I made Colonel Benirski (right), who, after the second World War, founded the engineering works on what is now our site.

We expected to enjoy chatting to each other but were completely engrossed in the making, and were companionably silent for most of the morning.

I hope that we can spend more time together like this, a foretaste of how it may be when we live together, rather than the current endless round of meetings...
