Harvest festival... by busylady

Harvest festival...

... is not what it used to be! But things move on, and we had a good display of goods to give to our local food bank. Peter will take them to the foodbank depot tomorrow, when picks up the crates for our church to distribute. He often has 12 to 18 crates to pick up and pack away. They banned over 70 year olds from doing the pick ups at one stage, but then realised they couldn't manage without them!
Thanks for all your comments and favs on yesterday's picture, and also for your interest in my New York pictures. All very much appreciated
That's a lot of food, people are very generous. I was amused at over 70's being banned until they realised they couldn't manage without them. Good to know we're still needed.

A very generous offering

Thats a good contribution. We also ask for things for foodbanks as, when it was all fruit and veg it was the same members of a small congregation that bought them back. We do a mixture of tins and fresh produce and auction off the fresh produce, or people give a donation at the harvest lunch towards Harvest for the hungry. I missed ours todayr as I contracted Covid which was a shame.

Had to laugh at them banning 70 year olds! Some 70 year olds out-work young people!

Yes, ours has gone to the food bank too.

Very nice “harvest” and much appreciated I’m sure. That is funny about 70 year olds! My back is better now than in my 40’s.

Good job, and thanks for the reminder that I need to drop off some food bank stuff, too!

Can I ask a weird question about British foods? I know that beans on toast is a common British food. Do Brits eat canned pasta (like the spaghetti rings in the lower right) on toast as well?

It's similar with us. Older people share more easily even though they have less.

What an offering for those in need.
September 25th, 2023  
Such a wonderful thing to do.

A lovely shot of this generous donation of food!
