It has been a surreal year with the mood dark and heavy like a rain cloud. In these uncertain times, there is always the comfort and joy of food. Please join Gloria Davenport as she shares with us the pleasure of cooking lamb, flavoured with an aromatic mix of spices from the East, slowly roasted in the oven and savour the moments as your kitchen is filled with the fragrance of a Levantine bazaar. And to finish, what can be more spoiling than Chocolate for pudding. Long time resident of Highgate and Cookery Editor of Buzz, Gloria is a teacher at St Michael’s School.

15th March – Conservation: Environment versus Heritage
Eventbrite Link will be on www.highgatesociety.com in March
A talk by his granddaughter Dr Susannah Self.
John Drinkwater (1882-1937), the poet and dramatist, lived at 9 The Grove in Highgate from 1930 to 1934. Geographically situating himself amidst local literati such as Samuel Taylor Coleridge and J.B. Priestley curiously resonated with his life’s experience. In 1919 Drinkwater’s play, Abraham Lincoln had played for a year in London’s West End and toured to USA, he was a superstar. However by the time he reached Highgate in the thirties, his flamboyant persona hid the darker truth of ailing health and crumbling finances. His situation in many respects mirrored that of Coleridge. Dr Self presents her unique collection of historical photos and family stories to illuminate the life of this much loved ‘Georgian’ poet.
With readings by Ruth Hazeldine.
A talk by Leo Henghes who will be highlighting a number of the social enterprises he has supported over recent years in Uganda. Find out more about United Social Ventures here.
