Christmas Decorations 1915

Living Well with Asthma

Grief comes in many forms, at any time and often when we least expect it. It launches us into a vertical learning curve at a time when we don't want to learn. Imagine being allowed to grieve your own way and in your own time, without the constraints that others may put on you, or that you inflict on yourself. Join author of Unscrambling Grief, Gail Miller, as she shares the story of her own sojourn through losing two daughters and how she and her husband survived the journey of grief.

Come along and enjoy an afternoon of making old-fashioned Christmas decorations like people made in 1915.

This session provides information on What is Asthma? Learn about the symptoms and triggers, assessing asthma control, how to manage asthma with an Asthma Action Plan, medications and devices and how to use them and what to do in an asthma emergency.

'The Perfumer's Secret' marks international bestselling author Fiona McIntosh's 30th novel. On 1 August 1914, the Grasse perfume families of Delacroix and De Lasset are united when Fleurette Delacroix marries Aimery De Lassett, a man she loathes. While Aimery is away on the frontline fighting, his estranged brother, Sebastien returns injured from the trenches, immediately sparking a deep attraction in Fleurette. He vehemently cautions against her marriage to Aimery, telling her of a sinister family secret that renders her union with Aimery inconceivable.

One that if discovered, would destroy both families.
