About us
This is a group for those of us who accept who we are and like who we are - do things alone however would prefer to share some of our leisure time with like-minded. We are interesting and interested in so much...walking in the countryside, travel, week-end breaks, playing cards, theatre, opera, dining, visiting galleries, exhibitions, playing tennis perhaps, book club, art.......it would be good for members to come up with ideas that we can join in with...we're not necessarily 'grumpy old' but do not like loud music, gum chewing or bootcamps!
Please note that photographs and/or video recordings may be taken at a 45+ Not Grumpy event. If you do not want your photo/video published online, please notify the group leader of this.

STOKE NEWINGTON TO STAMFORD HILL Guided walking tour with Barrie
Costa Coffee, Stoke Newington High Street, London, GBTravel back in time to the birth of the swinging sixties
with some personal stories from Barrie's youthFrom: STOKE NEWINGTON TO STAMFORD HILL
This walk has been 60 years in the making. On this tour, we journey from Stoke Newington up to Stamford Hill looking at both areas as they are today but also taking you back to the early sixties when London was on the verge of becoming the world centre of youth culture and fashion.
We are going to do this by tracing the early years of one of the greatest pop singers of the seventies and how he was part of a group of teenagers who revolutionised fashion and how 'the boys from the hill' became the first mods. Visiting the sites of places where these kids met, talked about music and clothes and and in doing so set the future in motion We talk about how both areas have changed so much in recent decades yet much of the past lives on if you know where to look
Throw into the mix a story that might have come from Memphis rather than Stamford Hill as well as some personal memories we have a tour that will be more than interesting for all age groups.
The cost is £15 cash on the day and we will, as usual, have some iconic photos to show that will enhance the walk experience even more!

Plovdiv is situated in the heart of Bulgaria, surrounded by mighty pine-forest-covered mountains and breathtaking nature. The city has preserved extremely valuable cultural monuments from the Antiquity, the Middle Ages and Bulgarian Renaissance coexisting in harmony with contemporary culture.

This is an inspiring and magical setting to reconnect with yourself, find some tranquillity and soak up the local culture.
ANCIENT WINE TERROIRS
The area is one of the oldest wine terroirs in the world. The research and restoration of archaeological monuments in the region are some of the causes we support because we think that we, as Bulgarians, should be proud to be the heirs of such ancient history, and must do our best to preserve the cultural legacy and popularise it in the country and worldwide.
