Mango, mango, mango!

We were back at the Community Grocer in North Finchley for our regular Tuesday community mission. The weather wasn’t great, but it gave us extra motivation to get the food off the lorry and into the dry, before moving it safely into the shop ready for redistribution.

This week there were plenty of spring onions and mangoes among the delivery. A satisfying bit of teamwork, helping good food reach local people rather than go to waste.

Get yourself down there and save some food! Or join us at a future session to lend a hand.

Yoga talk

Yoga encourages Three-dimensional Movement.

Much of our lives are spent moving our bodies in only one direction. Whether we’re sitting on a chair, flexing our neck up and down to look at screens or moving between floors by going up and down stairs, we’re drastically limited in our range of motions. Our bodies were designed to move in 3 dimensions, yet modern life forces us to largely move in only one. yoga helps to encourage a variety of movements..

George and I were asked to help clear a garden so a single mother could enjoy it with her son. The space had become overgrown and overwhelming. Using loppers, shears, and rakes, we managed to clear most of the area, placing the cuttings at the back of the garden to compost. By the time we finished, the trampoline was accessible and the garden ready for use. It felt daunting even for us, yet it was deeply satisfying to complete the task.
