A busy day

Fareshare in the morning, as ever full on and enjoyable.  We had a group of potential new donors (don’t know if they will give money or food) being shown around. Fareshare also needs money - for example one project is to pay a farmer for the labour to harvest a crop which they would otherwise leave in the field. Say Tesco told the farmer to grow 800 tonnes of celeriac, and then only bought 700 from them - which is what they do:-(. Fareshare could have the other 100 if they can pay for the harvesting. I use celeriac as an example as we often do get them - not to everyone’s taste, I think they’re delicious. 
The rest of the day was spent doing a big Tesco (haha ironic I know) shop. Then I looked after the other lovely boys who are neighbours.  These are  4 and 2. Mum and dad had a meeting at the primary school round the corner, as J is starting in September. 
I was so tired I went to bed early - but not before my Orkney friends and I booked a new adventure in Glasgow in the spring. Always good to have something special to look forward to over the winter.  And I will make it to the Burrell collection this time….
These are the perennial kind of sweet pea.  They’re at least two feet taller than me.  You can see how high they grow by the position of the washing line:-)
