Humanities: Christmas dinner – what, where and why
We generally think of a “traditional” Christmas dinner as being “turkey and all the trimmings”, but what are they, why are they traditional, and where do all of them come from, historically and today? Perhaps not surprisingly, some traditions go far further back than others. What do those sprouts have to do with Brussels, and why are they compulsory? My explanations will be based on my interest in historical cookery, but the recipes (available to download after the talk) will be on a purely practical and modern basis.

Art Appreciation: Impressionist Painting: an introduction
The course provides an introduction to Impressionist painting in France in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The course uses a selected number of paintings including work by Claude Monet and Édouard Manet, Edgar Degas and Berthe Morisot together with a number of lesser known artists. These provide the basis for the beginnings of an appreciation and understanding of some of the exciting ideas in aesthetics and philosophy of the period. The selection will encourage a focus on the paintings with themes and attentions implied in the course title, from working with sketches in the studio to painting in the open air.

Personal Development: Introduction to Different Perspectives on Mental Health
We will explore the experience of mental distress from four very different viewpoints. Each has something to offer, none has the whole story.
· The Biological aims to understand what is going on in the brain and the body. It underpins the medical model.
· The Psychological perspectives seek to explain our mental states in terms of our thinking, feelings and habits. It’s all in the mind.
· The Social perspective shifts the focus away from the individual. It is society that needs to change.
· A Spiritual perspective goes beyond our limited sense of self to seek deeper meaning in our life journey.
