Who says COMMUNITY SPIRIT is dead?
Debbie the Landlady of the Rising Sun and I organised a FREE Afternoon Tea for our Over 70s. Therefore I put a post on our local FB site and people that don’t know me from a bar of soap were putting donations through my door. Paul Hollywood would have been hard to judge because of the amount of delicious homemade cakes donated and people got up early to make sandwiches and sausage rolls before they went off to work. Small local businesses gave me money.
Most importantly local supermarkets gave me bags of sandwich ingredients. The wonderful children of all the local infant schools made Christmas cards for our elderly. We had amazing beautiful goodie bags donated for everyone as they left and homemade crafted gift bags filled with chocolates on the table from Mums at local schools. Volunteers worked SO hard chauffeurs were amazing and kept my head from exploding when it got too manic. How this town came together today is mind blowing and makes me feel very emotional and humble. Never underestimate the great British public!!!!!!!
