My Kind Neighbour nomination
Our neighbour Jeanette is the best.
We moved into our new house 2 days before Level 4 lock-down. We didn't know anyone in the neighborhood. Jeanette kept us supplied with fresh produce from her farm and her friends' farm too, all through the mailbox so contact-free. She even donated wool for hobby distractions. There was another couple she invited to stay at her place who lived in their own caravan in the driveway, they became part of Jeanette's bubble. We drank our own cups of tea and the occasional glass of wine across the road from one another. It was so nice to have friendly faces to be in contact with.
But it was during the arrival of a local pig named Basel when Jeanette achieved hero status with us. She came over and wrangled the large beast using a rope and her voice, and swiftly redirected him off the property (photo attached). Jeanette is friends with all the local stray animals and people!
WINTER DONATIONS & SATURDAY VOLUNTEERS
Heya Community,
Thanks for your incredible support this week as always. We're still on the hunt for more donations, especially WINTER CLOTHING & MENSWEAR. Remember we offer free collection Monday to Friday!
We're also looking for a couple of enthusiastic volunteers to join us on Saturdays!
(9:30-1:30 & 1:30-5:00)
Whether you're a morning person or prefer the afternoon shift, we'd love your help. All you need is to be friendly, have great communication skills, and if you have an eye for design, that's a bonus! Plus, we won't say no to a good singing voice or a love for chocolate biscuits 😉
Drop by and chat with Pen if you're interested!
See you in store this weekend 🏠,

Turn downsizing stress into strength
Downsizing can open the door to a new stage of your life that is rich in opportunity. However, it can be a daunting prospect. If you are embarking on a new chapter of life, the thought of shedding familiar possessions can feel even more stressful. This can be true even if the life changes are a good thing, such as a move to somewhere you will love to live.
Once you understand why you have this feeling, you can reframe it as creating a new environment that will support your present life while reminding you of your best experiences.
