Went to the Free food giveaway in the church this morning. In the centre of the room was a table, covered in flowers - it looked a bit like a funeral display. Everyone was walking out with flowers which seemed odd until I was told to take some flowers too - all Tesco surplus.
There wasn't much left in the perishable food line (fruit, veg, bread etc) which is all I normally take so that it isn't wasted. However, the Moneyless Chicken came home with some bread rolls and a bread stick, a bag of broccoli and some basil, a bunch of Stocks (does anyone grow these?) and a Fairtrade Advent Calendar. I turned down the offer of a goody bag containing chocolates, cakes and I don't know and a chocolate selection box. People are so generous.
Also IN came some more toiletries - hand creams etc. I should have the softest hands in Christendom - shame about the mud encrusted fingernails.

The Moneyless Chicken says:-
Use it up, wear it out, make it do or do without.
