Companion Andy and I had a lovely weekend at Emmaus Village Carlton last week, when they held a Music Festival. As well as a splendid local school choir, there was a broad range of performers and fairground stalls - and even a group of Vikings giving battle displays! Leaving nothing to chance, the highly efficient organisers had applied for and received an extension to the Indian Summer weather, so everyone highly enjoyed themselves.
Back home, the new warehouse is nearing completion so soon it will be all hands to the pump painting and decorating, with the move taking place at the end of the month; all very exciting. Fortunately we have the additional help of a number of new Companions; welcome to David, Bob, James, Nick and Frank. We have also had Harry, one of our First Companions here, staying for a week, and it’s been great catching up with news.
The allotment is definintely feeling autumnal - the leeks, brussels and cabbage have all doubled as the nights have got cooler!
Take care and keep warm,
Elizabeth
