It has taken somewhat longer than I anticipated but I can now report I am retuning to normal. You will see on page seven results of the Kingsdown & Ringwould Front Gardens in Bloom. Again this year it was a pleasure to be involved. Unfortunately we have had to cancel the proposed “Open Gardens” for September owing to lack of interest. Mainly due to our bad timing but we will certainly take this on board and rectify it for next year by arranging to stage both the events a bit earlier. The organisers of Kingsdown Rocks very kindly decided to make a donation to Rural Roundup from the proceeds of the event. A very kind gesture, and please accept many thanks from the editorial team. May I take this opportunity to remind everyone that we depend largely on donations to produce this popular publication and we are always delighted to receive any contributions however large or small. The WI members throughout East Kent are busy knitting for ‘The Benefit of Others’ during their Centenary Year. They are knitting items for Prem Babies at the QEQM and William Harvey Hospitals, Fingerless Gloves for Heart and Arthritis Patients also Hats, Gloves and Blankets for the homeless. More wool is desperately needed. So if you have any oddments of double knitting wool you would like to pass on it would be much appreciated. Please contact me on 01304 362 333 to make arrangements for it to be collected. Talking about helping others. I note Cathy mentioned the Food Bank in her letter. It occurred to me that whilst doing your weekly shop, do you, pick up the ‘buy one get one free’ or the ‘buy one get one half price’ even if you don’t really need the second item, then donate it at the collection point? It’s worth thinking about if you don’t already do it. See you next month. All the best, Ed. Editor:- Doreen Clark, Popinjay Balmoral Road, Kingsdown.
