Serendipity and Kindness

Today, one of the people who gets a weekly veg bag from Roots, messaged us all to say that they had gone away for Christmas and forgotten to pick up their bag – so, would anyone like it. Here’s the serendipity – We would like it as we had been unable to get our fruit and veg at the start of the week as planned, both being unwell so we had decided we would manage with a few frozen veg for a few days.

Now the kindness…..  Community Roots, where the bag was to be picked up, is a 15 minute drive away and neither of us is fit to go out so I said we would like the bag, explained the situation and asked if there was a good fairy around to help. But of course there was! This is Community Roots we are talking about. Two Roots friends offered and now we have the veg and some fruit, enough to take us up to and through when the whole family arrive on 30th December!

So now we have a wonderful array of freshly grown veg (some of which I probably sowed many months ago!) With all that Roots-grown  veggie goodness in us, we are surely going to get better very soon.
