I went shopping to find a particular birthday present. So far two places I have tried have shut their doors until February. I tried a third this morning, no luck.  I did find a couple of bits of clothing for our holiday, so didn’t come home empty handed, oh and 4 bags of compost! I managed to find some that wasn’t peat free. We used peat free last year and it was awful.

Mal was over at the Jubilee centre with the people for the food pantry, hoping that they will return. So far the boxing club are using it but there are a lot of rooms that can be rented out and two kitchens. It’s so sad that is has been shut so long and Dover county council wanted it permanently closed down.  It should be for the use of the community. At least Mal and the other trustees have succeeded at long last.

After lunch I went back over with him, firstly dropping the compost off at the allotment.

It doesn’t look too brilliant from the front but hopefully enough money can be made to keep it going. There is also a huge garden at the back and  a room with a stage.

It is nice to know a success story with so much doom and gloom around. Of course now it has to be marketed and volunteers found.
