Art, music and the Fishermen's chapel

I've been out and about a bit more than usual this week (thank you, Nanny and Grandad looking after the boys!). Twice this week I have been to the Fishermen's chapel in Leigh on Sea. It's a beautiful white building not far from old Leigh on sea. The downstairs is a lovely open space which hosts a regular meet up on a Wednesday, a coffee meeting for artists/entrepreneurs to meet up and chat. And the lovely chapel space itself upstairs.
 
Friday I was lucky enough to pop along and listen to the fabulous Daisy Bowlers, a local group I have heard a few times before. They are amazing singers and terrific fun to listen to - a lovely way to spend a Friday afternoon whilst the boys are at nursery. It was a full house and lovely tea and flapjack too.
 

 At both I had some of my art and cards available for sale. The chapel is starting to host some local artists work on their walls as an affordable art gallery and it lovely to see the range of local talent in our town.

Above all it's a good reminder of the importance of getting out and connecting with what's happening in your local area - sometimes as a small business it's so easy to get stuck just working at home and it's refreshing to get out and meet people and be inspired seeing others loving doing what they do and working with friends and family.
