Caring Together had a nice delivery today. 3 large boxes containing 120 smaller individual snack boxes delivered to us by a volunteer from Otley Action for Older People, courtesy of Jet 2, who delivered them to Otley earlier in the week. Many thanks for this. They will be a nice addition to any food deliveries that we make.

British choirmaster, composer and TV presenter, Gareth Malone, has launched an ‘at home’ digital choir to boost the nation’s morale during coronavirus self-isolation.
His heart-warming new initiative, ‘The Great British Home Chorus’, has been designed to bring together both amateur and professional performers around the UK by encouraging them to sing with others online.
The next rehearsal will be at 5.30pm today

Special moments captured whilst checking in with members:
“This is a photo is of the plum tree blossom at the Caring Together allotment. I went out for some exercise and potential food supplies. I checked on the rhubarb as thought I might be able to gather some yet it seems to be a bit slow this year. I was told it was because we haven’t had a cold enough winter and it needs cold to trigger good growth as it’s originally from Siberia. Although everyone knows rhubarb comes from Yorkshire and the rhubarb triangle….!”

‘Virtual Party’
Special moments captured whilst checking in with members:
“It was my friends birthday last week. I managed to get a card to her before the lock down. On the day of her birthday I got up and dressed. I made some food and sat at my table and lit a candle. My friend sat in her home and did the same with her cards around her. We sat and said a virtual cheers to each other. You have to have a laugh in between the gloom”.
