Hello everyone. We know that this term was pretty busy and hard; so we decided to make a special event to wrap up and celebrate the hard work over this term. Sunday, 18th of March- save this date cause is gonna be awesome and you don't want to miss it. We would like to invite you at a Romanian style barbeque ("grฤtar") that is gonna make your mouth watery (the photo is not a joke๐). We really enjoy having fun together and savor a tasty meal; so come along and if you have a p...referred meat that you'd like to put on the grill, bring it (we'll make sure that is gonna be really savory). So, if you're not convinced yet, then we have to mention that alcohol is allowed๐ (BOB- bring your own preferred booze). Can you ask for more? Barbeque+ Booze= Party. ๐๐๐บ๐บ๐๐๐ Let's make the most out of this end of term. Hope to see you there! ๐

The spring is around the corner and, as a tradition, we celebrate it in a specific way. Come down and make your own jewellery for FREE.
One of legends says that at the end of February, Baba Dochia (an old lady) sent her daughter in law to bring her blackberries from the near by forest. With a tip from an old guy, the young woman managed to bring home riped blackberries, as her mother in law asked. Stunned by the idea of riped blackberries, Baba Dochia decided to take her shee...ps up in the mountains because she thought that the summer is coming. She took 12 sheepskin coats on because was a bit chill, but on the way she warned up and she took them off one by one. On the twelveth day she ends up only with a shirt and suddenly a strong frost takes place and she freezes up with her sheeps (being transformed into a statue). Until this days there is a statue with Baba Dochia and her sheeps.
Regardless the legend that you choose to believe, this celebration is about the flourishing of the Spring and the transition from cold to hot. With this in mind, we would like to invite you to an workshop where you can design your own "Mฤrศiศor" or another jewellery. Mฤrศiศor is a red and white string with hanging tassel (black and white in the past) bound to a talisman (usually a silver coin). This was given as a gift by people around the country to express their love towards their close ones. This gift is a way of wishing them a year full of prosperity and happiness. Lest give this gift to others and ourselves at the beginning of this Spring.
We will have a charity bucket for Cancer Research UK too, as a voluntary foundraising.
