Taking my foot off the pedal.

So now my Dad's birthday has been and gone I can show you the rather groovy card I made him. No idea why, but this is what popped into my head. I have a funny feeling my parents may have given me a present wrapped in that backing paper originally....this is all from saved envelopes and some crafting paper kits I bought years ago. I'm finding my mindful hoarding [ie selective keeping of things and storing them properly] has been a complete boon during this time. Gift wise I went for a delivery of 4 pints of locally brewed beer...we are lucky to have several microbreweries who need us to support them in these difficult trading times. As have a lot of our independent businesses, they realised early on that taking the product out to the customer was a way of keeping themselves afloat....the feedback has been that they've been far busier than they ever anticipated, so I think that they have not just scraped through, but are doing well. Our funds may be limited, but when I do spend I want it to go towards supporting the local economy as much as possible.

As my time at home now is going to decrease once again I shall return to weekday blogging. A friend sent me this poem....I'm not starry eyed about all the evangelical clapping, but love the words and sentiment which are further down in the link.
