And so we are blessed, and thankful that as we look around the world through our TV screen and social media sites we are so privileged and protected in so many ways in our everday lives - there are so many whose lives suffer immeasurably through unstable weather patterns, rising global sea levels and/or climate-based catastrophic weather events that destroy homes, lives and livlihoods at a stroke.Here at home, later in the year, we may well see the consequences of our early and unseasonal fruit and berry crops as autumn and winter draw on, and our native wildlife begins to suffer through the lack of hedgrow foods normally available to see them through until spring. Let us be mindful, and do what we can to make sure we spare a few more crumbs from our abundant tables to help them survive through the winter months.Would that it could be so easy for each of us to so physically help the people far in other lands who are starving now, let alone in a few months time%u2026Revd CoralieDEADLINE FOR OCTOBER:18TH SEPTEMBER
