Table for one. How do you take essential me time? Some need more than others and many get too much time alone, but do tell me your favourite way to recharge. This 👇👇👇 is the best table in Glasgow’s Amber Regent. It has perfect prospect refuge; no one behind, with sightlines to every corner. Sensory overload, or just a need to escape, can mean a half-hour lunchtime lie down in a dwam***. At home for sure, in a hotel room always, or under the table in a client’s office. A personal favourite is a table for one. Not only when solo dining is thrust upon us, but if there’s a crowd making woopee and you simply want disappear in a puff. This Glasgow institution is five minutes from the office and they seem to know where I like to sit. Nice, very nice. Tip: you’re allowed to do this… and enjoy it. ***dwam: a state of semi conscious reverie.

"The dining room table creates access" A great line from my friend Godfrey Mmagawo, who was explaining to me how when a big family dinner happens, knowledge is shared around the table, and the younger kids gain access into the value that the broader family offers through rich story telling and reflections. Think of that one moment as a kid during the holidays, whether it be a Christmas dinner or a big birthday party, where everyone sat around the dining room table and shared stories, wisdom or even differing points of view. For a young kid, this was a place where you learned and got access into the inner worlds of those older than you, as well as a place where you had a bit of an audience yourself! I can remember one time when my family and some family friends were spending a weekend away in the Wild Coast (South east coast of South Africa) where we had booked a wooden house over looking the bay, nestled into the remote beauty of that region. Each night we had a braai of sorts, and sat around the table on the veranda late into the night, sharing stories of our childhoods and teasing one another lovingly, laughing until we cried! My siblings and I all grew up on a farm, so we had a plethora of tales to share. In between the laughter, more somber stories would occasionally arise, invoking different emotions from the table. The conversation would take twists and turns, ups and downs, some what like a roler coaster ride! All facilitated by this welcoming, safe space where people felt comfortable and sat shoulder to shoulder, eye to eye while being included in the conversation; The dining room table. The point is that dining room tables for centuries have not only been a place of connection, but also a place where you got access. Access to your family, community, stories, ideas and sometimes life changing discussion. In my old church, the pastor would often refer to the dining room table as the operating table: A place of healing and restoration. I leave you with a question: What is your fondest dinner party memory? *** The image below is from a dinner party hosted to discuss public space in Durban, over veg wraps 🌯 The stories shared were super interesting, but that's for another post! #diningroomtable #dinnerparty #dinnerpartyApp #openseat #community #access
