A really lovely article about cooking & eating together & community buidling. I really feel that organising small evening meals together is amongst one of the very best things we can do at the moment, for all round wellbeing. A fellow school mum suggested an evening like this, we are meeting at her house next week, can’t wait.

A moment that changed me: my parents had a dinner party – and it inspired me to find and feed new friends

Locked down in London, I was lonely and underfed. I longed for the communal meals at my Mum and Dad’s home in Delhi, so I embarked on some disastrous and delicious dinners of my own

@mrwalter @chucker yes! It’s also been nice reading other people’s accounts of doing similar evenings. We should all do this and then report back here! Hashtag #EatingTogether 😊

#ClimateDiary last night was our #EatingTogether ⬆️ evening and it was truly wonderful. I cooked soup from all the veg we happened to have and even managed to get it there on my bike! Everyone made and brought something, and we ate and talked - five school mothers. The “school mum scene” may not be quite my thing but it’s SO good to feel local connection and community, really talk. And we did talk about #ClimateChange - not all the time, but a little, as part of everything
