A story synopsis.... ~Deep in the ancient, untouched heart of the forest lives the green man. There he cares for the trees, and the birds, and the beasts. The lords and ladies in their castles and mansions, and the wealthy merchants in the towns, they know that the green man is just a story to amuse children. Though his image is carved into the very stone of their churches and cathedrals, they do not believe such nonsense. But the country folk, those whose villages and farms lie closest to the edge of the forest, they know. And when the days grow short and bitter and the ground turns hard, they leave out bowls of food as an offering to him~ Karuna Mistry Karuna has over 90 individual poems published in more than 60 anthologies. His poetry is thoughtful and philosophical, yet easily accessible, covering life, music, science fiction and spirituality. His debut poetry and art book, “Sojourn: Transcending Seasons” (2024, Amazon) contains over a dozen art pieces and almost 100 poems in various styles. This publication explores the journey of the soul through eight chapters of revealing thoughts and valuable insights in overcoming grief and loss, culminating in spiritual upliftment.

How Speed Dating Works in Leicester When you arrive at the Leicester venue you will be greeted by our friendly professional hosts. Once everyone has arrived and registered we will briefly explain the format of the evening. The ladies will then be asked to make their way to their allocated table. Once the ladies are seated the gentlemen will be asked to proceed to their first date. You will have 4 minutes to chat to each date, once the 4 minutes is over we will ring a bell to indicate the time is up and for the gentlemen to move to their next date. Four minutes is long enough to see if you click with the person you are talking to and whether you would like to see them again and also short enough if you don't. At the end of each date you have a brief few moments to make some notes on the person you have just dated. This is something to help jog your memory for the post event matching process the next day. Half way through the event you will have an interval break so you can nip to the toilet or top up your drink. Once all the dates are over you have the opportunity to stay on at the venue to mingle freely with others.
