Hi Paul,George and everyone on lists
I have just been outside watering the few remaining plants and blackened
trays , stumps and such in the hope that I can bring some back to life.
Watering is my thinking time and I had a chance to contemplate the
overwhelming offers of support and monies. Yes kind souls have offered
money.
At the risk of sounding unappreciative I cannot in my heart accept any
monies in any form and still feel good about myself. My children have
presents , We have food , clothes and a roof. What more do we really need.
If my good friends out there have no other way but monies to help, again at
the risk of sounding ungrateful, please send it to The Save the Children
Fund or Red Cross or similar.
I will gladly accept seeds from my friends and emails with uplifting
messages as they help keep us going .
I will accept any seeds that anyone wishes to send as I know they do not
really cost money, just love and thoughtfulness. I can then use the plants I
grow to rebuild our lives and others round us by offering them work.
Dont get me wrong I thoroughly appreciate every bit of help and I am still
as cheeky as ever and will ask anybody at anytime for seeds they have spare
but I just cannot in good faith accept money.
Merry Christmas and an extremely Happy New Year.
Kind Regards
Marc , Paula and boys.
