A whole bunch of flowering aliums have had their flowering heads cut off in the back garden. They were in a clump next to the lane wall and the heads have been scattered along the path.
How odd
Animal work or pure vandalism?
Who knows
The village food bank which is set up weekly in the phone box on well Street has been emptied for the second time . Again its shelving has been removed which would indicate that the culprits have a car.
It’s a sad state of affairs as there is a need for such an initiative.
Village leader Ian came around yesterday for coffee and told me about the food bank.
He was a little saddened by it all which in itself is sad given the great strides the new Community Association ,which he helped develop, have taken over the last year.
I took time reminding him of how much a force for good the association is and how much I admire their philosophy of making things fun, and I meant what I said .
I know what it’s like to galvanise people out of inaction
It can be rewarding but often it’s a thankless job
Positive feedback the Welsh are not always good at.
Bridget who runs the food bank is stocking up again today.
I will pop down with more donations later.
She’s another minor star in the village.
I want to support the other new initiatives that are springing up: the plans for wildlife conservation at the village pond; the coffee mornings are starting up again and the wonderful Folk at the Hall returns at some stage alongside positive plans no doubt suggested by the community Council post lockdown.
Time is difficult as I’m still working full time , but I will try a little harder to support these groups of ordinary people who are striving very hard to make the village a nicer place to live in.
It’s Monday today.
This is my last week as a community Hospice Nurse.
I’ve enjoyed the experience and would like to return one day
I bought a ceramic wind chime in the shape of a fish today
It pleased me,
After I hang it , and clear the kitchen . I will take the dogs up to Lywenna ( Gentleman Farmer Ralph’s widow) to say hello
It’s time I made some time for important things
