Nelly Came To Town
We were very excited to exhibit a beautiful Aluminium Sculpture of Nelly in the window of Chartwell Apothecary during the Spring. He was made by Florence Drew a local Creative Arts Graduate as part of a set for a play that she wrote and directed called “Unseen Colours” The subject pivoted around several taboo subjects and Nelly represented ‘The Elephant In The Room’ Making him relevant to the therapies here at the clinic we attached the names of many common ailments to his frame and invited our visitors to ask the question - have you been avoiding facing up to a health condition that you have?
Monday 22nd February 2016
Caroline stepped into the breach and delivered her ‘Kitchen Cupboard Pharmacy’ talk at short notice to the South Godstone Women’s Institute.

The talk was topped off with a very useful beauty tip for good measure.
