Last week I handed out fruit bushes (gooseberries, josta berries, black and red currants) to 5 different members who hopefully this or definitively next year will be able to eat their own organically grown soft fruit. For this I received 5 gems, which I managed to spend with people who really needed to earn some gems.

Thank you Liz for the amazing ironing service. She picked it up one night at 9am and it was ready the next morning!

Thanks to Martha for the wonderful car valleting and she is making some surprise bags for the Skills Exchange get together.

Thank you to Barbara for a hotstone treatment that I am giving to a friend as a present.

I need to have my blind mended so I hope to use the last gem in doing that.

This is the way we keep the Gems shining and the system healthy.
