Surf Mama at Big Green Bookshop

July 23, 2014 by Wilma Johnson

Getting tropical at the Big Green Bookshop in Wood Green, it was a hot thundery night and we’d come up with the inspiration of serving Tequila Sunset at the reading. I was running late having just arrived back from Ireland, and rather disappointed to find that they don’t sell either tequila or grenadine in Morrison’s in Shopping City! Luckily they had some Cuervo at the corner store – I won’t be winning any mixicology awards, but we had a great […]

Art Car Boot Fair in Liverpool

July 9, 2014 by Wilma Johnson

On the road with the Art Car Boot Fair last weekend – would have loved to sling a surf board on top of the beautiful vintage Vauxhall Firenza and drive it away ….. but I was daytripping it on the train, and didn’t have time for much except the Boot Fair and a quick Full Brazilian in the bar afterwards. Next year I’ll take my dancing shoes and stay for the weekend. Art Car Boot Fair Hunt and Darton Café

Back to my Roots

June 18, 2014 by Wilma Johnson

After a crazy week in London launching the book it was quite calming to get back home and back to my roots with the Mamas Surf Club on friday. A bit too calm in fact – we had the sort of waves I dreamt of when we first started in 2005, tiny to non-existent. For a while we had another motto alongside ‘Out of the kitchen and into the Surf’. ‘Never too small for the Mamas.’ But I’ll say the […]

Surf Mama launch at Vout-O-Reenees

June 5, 2014 by Wilma Johnson

  Surf Mama launch at Vout-O-Reenees on Monday was a wild night. Enormous stroke of luck that one of my best and oldest friends Sophie Parkin had just opened Vout-O-Reenees ‘ private members club for the surrealistically distinguished’, the perfect setting for the launch, in the crypt of a church in the city, surralist decor and the fabulous garden room painted a la Monet by surfer Morganico. We gave away a free tequila sunrise with every copy because we just […]
