Another week goes by! It is week 7 or 8??? We might be getting some good news about lockdown – so fingers crossed.
My cycling distance increases and this week we were around Campmuir with lots of rainbows in the windows. The sunshine fairly helps to cheer us on.
Last weekend, we had a plant swap at the church hall. We kept it low key but still had lots of folks coming along and swapping. The Guild raised £100 for the Social Isolation project at Cross Reach. So thank you all.
While on my travels, I noticed a plant box at North Corston with funds going to NHS. So worth a look. Also Maisie of School Park (next to the school) has made some friendship bracelets that are at the garden gate with an honesty box for NHS again. Well done all.
