Loneliness
In early May, ITV’s new Isolation Stories featuring Sheridan Smith aired.
The programme itself covered loneliness and introduced “Get Talking”.

Sewing Bee
Hello from The Great British Sewing Bee team
I am writing to let you know that we are starting to think about the future when the current restrictions are lifted and when we will be able to bring you another series of The Great British Sewing Bee.
We are closely observing government guidelines, but at some stage after the Covid-19 situation has improved and it is safe to do so, we’ll be filming the next series.
We are now looking for the sewers to take part and we’re keen to hear from both male and female sewers of all ages.
So if you or some you know is a talented amateur sewer then please do encourage them to apply at http://www.applyforsewingbee.co.uk
Applications Close: 23.59pm on Sunday June 7th 2020.
It would be very much appreciated if you would help us spread the word to anyone who may be interested in applying by sharing the attached poster & flyer.
Please be reassured that in applying for the series this does not involve asking potential sewers or any of our team to travel, we are able to work safely from home and are continuing to process the applications now for Series 7.
We would be more than happy to answer any questions at : applyforsewingbee@loveproductions.co.uk

I am fearful that this may sound like an advert but this is not my intention. Rather, as a member of the Oundle U3A I know how much we are missing our groups, visits and chats which we so enjoy and I would dearly love to have a similar project which I could contribute to in the area where I live; unfortunately this is not the case. At the very least the magazine provides interesting reading for your members. Despite living some 200 miles away I look forward to reading MIMAZINA each week. If, having read the magazine you feel you would like to contribute yourself then I am sure that both Foundation Press and MIMA would be very pleased to receive your ideas.
With kind regards
Gill Phillips
