Last week I had a surprise visit from Steve, who had made me a really lovely wooden bird feeder. It now hangs in the front garden and will hopefully entice the Bridgford birds.

Thomas had just come back from Uni and he too enjoys the look of our native birds, so after he had done a cleaning job for Catherine, he decided to use his two gems on Sally's truffels for one of his friends in Cambridge and another of Steve's beautifully made bird feeders.




Within 2 hours of the request, Steve was back an delivered the present. Thomas is over the moon and hopes lots of West Bridgford and Cambridge birds will come flocking to his house, so he can make an indepth study for his assignment. Steve did not want a gem, so Tom will be making him a carrot cake as that is one of many cakes Steve likes.

As that is the case, Tom will now spend a gem on a hotstone treatment with Mike as after a tough season of Rugby this would be a good way to end the year!


Thank you to all who allowed us to earn gems, so that we can spend them on other lovely items, treats and help. May what we do for you be as appreciated and joyful!
