This group was originally started by Kate, based on one of her favourite radio programs on CBC. It was called "Stranded" and each week featured an hour-long interview with a famous Canadian. Jane Hawtin was the host. Each interviewee was asked where they wanted to be stranded and what they would take with them. They could take a book, a movie, a CD and pick one food.
So, if you were "stranded" and could only take 1 book, 1 movie, 1 CD and pick 1 food to eat ... what would *you* take with you? And where would you want to be stranded? And remember, it doesn't have to be a desert island!
Alternatively, add a lens that highlights your choice of book, or favourite food, or the destination you'd love to be stuck in for a while.
This group is now being looked after by Daoine.
