Warm Hub & Light Lunch - March
Monday 11th March
One new customer joined us today along with the local community police office who popped in to see how we all were. Sixteen sat down for lunch. The session went well and everyone appeared upbeat on such a miserable morning.
It is interesting to note how one week several soups are served and then another it is beans on toast or scrambled egg on toast. The apple crumble and custard was a great hit with every person having a portion. Many favourable comments and thankyou's were made for producing it.
Items bought
Cut loaf, rolls, soup, milk, butter pats, custard powder, chocolate biscuits.
Review of session
A small table was placed in the hall for dirty crockery so people wouldn't wander into the kitchen.
This worked well and meant washed crockery wasn't getting mixed up with crockery waiting to be washed.

Another new person joined us today. Some of the regulars weren't with us but we still served 15 lunches. A variety of dishes were served but all wanted apple crumble and custard for dessert. Attendees were sad today would be our last warm hub with lunches. Being able to come along and socialize with others has been most welcome in the village. Many asked if it would be repeated again next year.
Items bought
1doz rolls, cut loaf, baked beans, milk, flour, margarine
My overall Review
I feel the sessions have been well received and that there is definitely a need for such sessions during the winter months so that people who are at home, often on their own have a reason to come out and enjoy the company of others - and have a warm lunch included.
Did I enjoy it? Yes, I did. It involved a lot of work before and after the sessions as well as during the sessions. The pleasure on hearing people having a good chat, in the warm and enjoying a meal, joining in with them was really heart warming.
Without my team I could not have achieved this and I am truly thankful to them. Their support has been invaluable.
