Apologies for the deafening silence that has populated this site for the last 8 months.... gulp. There has been so much going on and we are still too small to be able to afford a dedicated blogger.... The FirstLight shop at 63 Newborough has become much more than just a shop; it is a drop in, the centre from which we run our Ebay and there is always a brew and a chair available for a chat - you never know who you are going to meet there. Gill is busy beavering away up at Stepney Hill and is growing not just vegetables, but absolutely amazing flower. Produce is available at the farm shop; you never know quite what you are going to find. And we have honey on the go courtesy of Kevin and his amazing bees. We sold out at Armed Forces Day, and hope to have some more on sale soon. But it slightly depends on how much is made as the bees need to make enough for winter before we can draw any more off (I hope I have that right, Kevin?). So rather than babble on, I have uploaded a whole mass of pictures to give you an idea of what we have been up to.....

It is amazing who our veterans get to help them with the work!!

Even pouring rain doesn't stop them helping out, and it soooooooooo rained.

And then we had Matalan collecting for us at @It's a Knockout' and we are looking forward to collecting the proceeds at the beginning of September - a huge thank you to Matalan and all those brave participants.
