Hi Everyone
Summer is on the way!!! We had a glorious day on 20th April at the Bluebell Walk. Many thanks to everyone that helped. Over £1800 profit was raised on the day. Although in parts it was very hard work, it was pleasing to see lots of members who came and supported us. Thanks to cake makers, volunteers and Tesco, Morrisons and Asda who kindly donated some of the food.
An Easter - Meet and Greet took place, with fun and Easter games. Here’s David who won the Chick Race!!!
Tesco recently donated £413.40 which was raised in their Lottbridge Drove store at the book stand. Thanks to everyone who kept filling up the shelf. Here is Yazmine handing over the cheque at our recent Friends lunch.
Hello again, its me again, I’m sitting on the train again.
The sun is shining, Spring is here, signs of new life are everywhere.
Trees are sprouting leaves of green, all natures colours can be seen.
The yellow of the celandine, gorse and primroses too,
In contrast to the Bluebells, oh what a glorious hue.
Lambs are playing in the fields, Crops are growing, their grain to yield.
There, see baby rabbits nibbling away, while pheasants greet a brand new day.
How good it is to see the sun, and share what nature has begun.
The re-awakening of all that’s free, for us to wonder at and see.
