Good morning. It’s Yarn day today at Calme and the ladies can’t wait to see you! The coffee will be flowing as will the conversations. You don’t have to knit, sew or crochet you can just turn up for coffee and cake and to support us and find out what we do at Calme Nest.

But if you do knit or crochet we are your tribe - Here is what is our Yarn day is all about. 🧶
We have lots of lovely ladies helping each other and sharing talents and lots of spare yarns and hooks and needles to get you started.

The underlying purpose of the yarn days are our commitment to make and donate as many knee blankets as we can to the frailty ward at Blackpool Victoria Hospital so that they can be enjoyed by those who need them the most.
This was Anne delivering our most recent batch to the ward where they were received with gratitude and I must say Anne was moved by their appreciation and it was reiterated to Anne that these blankets are much needed and become much loved and eventually go home with the ladies or gents on the ward.

So as long as we are needed we will be there learning to crochet and creating these knee blankets to donate to the ward.

There for the grace …. And one day… so let’s get yarning!

Have a lovely day - go check us out 💖

Whilst I m away sunning myself (in a dark room in France in 45 * heat!) 🤣 the show goes on. It goes on because it’s not my show it’s our show. The ladies who have been around for a while (in the nicest way) just stepped up and stepped in and so the show goes on.

Tomorrow morning is yarn day or not! Go for a knit or crochet or a coffee and cake and connection. Go to drop off your bras (I can explain lol) or go to leave a tombola donation. Go to see someone because you haven’t connected so far this week or longer. Go introduce yourself. Just go!

It’s a beautiful mix of people, for all reasons and they will look after you. If you have never been before then simply present yourself and explain that you are new and from that moment on we will support you as you make new connections.

It’s a 10am start and usually a 2pm finish (Annie has granny duties 😊) so may need a hand with the hoover lol

On a serious note - I am forever grateful to all our ladies who run the show with or without me. It’s take a team to make the dream and we have just that. You are all awesome. 🙌

Love all the way from France - we may be home early at this rate! If we’re a cake I would be “done” 🤣 - Caroline x

So this lovely lady is Vik. - Please say hello to Vik x
Vik is helping out at Calme at the moment and again I couldn’t be more grateful to her. 🙏🏼
Vik is one of those “Be Like VIk” people lol she is amazing and I just want to be like her!
Multi talented and kind but and she will laugh at this I hope - she doesn’t stand for any nonsense lol (love you Vik) 😘
Vik attended one of our beginners sewing machine workshops as she wanted to get to know her machine and then wanted to make things. Bol is doing just that 🙌

She has an amazing, inspiring and growing business and she will go far. She’s a star. Vik’s is on a journey and will soon be taking her talents to Skye - there are no ifs and buts about it. I feel like a school teacher marking an end of year report -

Vik will achieve all she sets out to do in life. She may try her hand at a few things and each will be a success and the moving on will alway be Vik’s own decision.

Well done Vik xx Gold Star.

Now tag that business. 💫

You may have seen yesterday’s post about an exciting new project, a collaboration with the very talented Emma Bradbury Coaching.

It has been a vision for a long time that we join forces to offer some amazing “healthier you” events and gatherings and at last we have taken the first step.

The vision is that through education and some amazing food events and shopping and cooking demonstrations that we will become healthier in body and mind and actually enjoy the process! We will make food fun again and we will make sure that you are supported every step of the way.

If we can we will get you moving again, even if it’s only to the pub! We are not aiming for perfection we are aiming for reality and improvement and most of all confidence and self love.

We will be asking our business buddies, educators and health professionals to join us as guest speakers and motivators and to share what they do with us so that we have a beautiful aura of energy and enthusiasm surrounding us at all times.

It’s going to be a grower - we don’t have all the answers to how the finished project will look but we do have our reputations as dedicated women who want to help other women and that’s an amazing starting point.

We look forward to sharing this journey with you and we do hope that you will join us on one of our launch events coming soon.

Caroline xx 😘

Good morning. I have been updating the website and adding workshops and new dates to popular workshops over the past few days. It’s keeping me busy throughout the hottest parts of the day so It’s been a lovely cool task lol.

If you have been around Calme Nest for a while now you will know that our workshops are about learning and having fun but also about support and connection and extra help if needed. We appreciate through our own experiences that it can be daunting to join somewhere new and start to learn new things but it could be also just what you need.

Lots of our workshops have set dates and times to ensure that we are able to sustain but lots of our in-house workshops are also available as “chose your date” which means just that. You make your booking and then contact us to arrange a mutually convenient date, daytime, evening or weekend. This way nobody misses out.
We also offer discounts for group bookings so do ask if you a peer group or work group that you would love to attend with as a team. It’s a lovely way to spend time and of course you get great cake too!
Our “Crafternoon” dates are a fun way to spend a lunchtime crafting with sandwiches and cake too! Just easy crafting and good food and chat and again one to one or as a small group. Our lunch is served in a sewing box so it’s lovely to look at too!

We have some amazing people around us at the moment. Vik (formerly of Little House of Cup cakes) is on a journey of her own and will be moving home and life soon but for now she is happy to teach hand sewing and embellishment and other sewing related activities.

“SEW” - there you have it! - lots of great ways to pass the time, learn something new and perhaps even start a new business! We can help there too!

Take a huge leap of faith in yourself and in us and let’s get you started on a journey, connected to new people and enjoying some YOU time. 🤗

Well it’s been years since I have been cooled with a hosepipe but that’s what it took today. What I didn’t expect was that I would sat at the table enjoying a cool glass of water and ice when he drenched me!

Game on dude! 😆

Hope you are all keeping cool there and drinking lots of water today 💦

🌞 Well Good Morning. Welcome to another beautiful day and to what we hope will be a very special announcement 📣💖

💪 Nourish & Flourish is Back 💪
Some of you may remember Nourish & Flourish from its earlier days. We are delighted to announce that we are back with renewed energy, fresh direction and a passion for helping women prioritise their own wellbeing in so many ways.

Over recent months, Emma Bradbury of Emma Bradbury Coaching and myself (Caroline of Calme) have spent time sharing ideas, experiences and a mutual passion for helping women live healthier, happier lives. It quickly became clear that we shared many of the same values and ambitions, and so bringing our two businesses together for some amazing events and gatherings felt like a natural next step.

We are proud to present our first event together:

✨ Nourish & Flourish Presents: The Nutrition Edition ✨
Hosted by Emma Bradbury and Caroline of Calme.

Looking after everyone else often comes first, but this evening is just for you.
Join us for the first in a series of monthly events designed to support women in every stage of life. Together, we’ll explore how nutrition can help support energy, health, wellbeing and self-care in a realistic and achievable way.
Enjoy a carefully prepared meal while learning how the very food you are eating can nourish your body and support your long-term health.
You will leave with practical knowledge, simple ideas you can put into practice straight away, a greater understanding of how food affects wellbeing, and fresh inspiration to invest in yourself.
Most importantly, you’ll spend an evening in the company of like-minded women, taking time out from life’s demands to focus on your own health and happiness.
📍 Calme�🕡 6:30pm Start�🎟 £25 per person investment in yourself 💪
Nourish your body 💪�Empower your wellbeing�Flourish in every stage of life
Spaces are limited and advance booking is essential 💖

We look forward to seeing you 💖

We’re still deciding exactly what we’ll be painting, so ideas are very welcome! 👀🎨 We know one thing for certain though – it will be pink, uplifting and full of hope.
We’d love you to wear pink if you can. Whether that’s a little ribbon, a pink scarf or full-on pink fabulousness, let’s fill the room with colour and support.
📅 Sunday 11th October�⏰ 10.30am – 12.30pm

Good morning and welcome to a brand new week 💖

We are still having a great time here in France although the heat is wearing a little thin now. 🥵

The best way to keep cool is a drive in the air con car between supermarkets to hover around the freezers!

Yesterday I needed the loo whilst shopping so I asked the counter lady for the key to the toilet, she said the word “key?” as a question and pointed to my years old but favourite cross body Mulberry bag!
I thought for a second and then dig into it and offered her my little beaded kids purse with about 2 Euros on it and luckily she accepted that or there would have been a puddle! A Mulberry Antony for a wee???!
What was she thinking? Nice try lady!

I got the key and toddled off to let Phil know and he decided he would make use of the key too (still no where near a swap for my bag even for two) 🤣

So here in France the loos have a loo and a urinal in the same room. Phil thought we were having a visit together!! I soon set him straight! There are some things I like to do alone and always will lol I do not share loo rooms EVER, never have and never will!

Anyway here is the polite but lengthy request to keep the loo clean and leave as you find 😂

We are off to the market today for some chicken and ribs and garlic potatoes. That’s an easy tea day if anyone is cool enough to eat it 🥵

I will be back later with some new food events and dates and some new workshops and music events, lots of dancing so that I can work those garlic spuds off!

See you soon and stay safe
Caroline xx 😘
