A friend of our son’s. Deasy Bamford,  shared a poem she wrote yesterday and she has given me permission to share it with you. It touched me deeply.

We have volunteered a few times at The Ladder in town, painting the inside, helping with the planting of the garden at the back and today the volunteer force were called in again. There has been scaffolding up for a long, long time as the roof has been being repaired and weeds have had a field day! A whole bunch of people turned up and tidied everything up. I did one small patch and here are the before and after photos.

We picked the last raspberries from our allotment this afternoon.
