Preserves Purchased

At today's coffee-after-the-service people bought

• 16 jars of jam / chutney (another 25 to go)
• 1 scarf from India (another 3 to go)
• 1 bag from Nepal
• 3 cards (rather a lot to go)

One lady (who taught in Tanzania 25 years ago, probably when she was around my age) has offered some bandages & triangles, as well as her knitting needles and sewing bits - I feel for the ladies giving craft bits because it's often given after having to accept that those days are over, and it makes me realise that it's going to happen to me one day too.
A couple of people also gave me a very generous donation.
So with the sales of the jam and the interest shown in the project, I no longer feel quite as if I'm in this alone.

(There would have been a bit of pondering in this post, but technology got the better of me, so you are spared it!)
