How are you enjoying the change to autumn weather, or are you hoping for a possible Indian summer? I’m writing these notes in mid-September, by the time you read them we should all know. The summer has undoubtedly been much better than a few of the more recent ones, to the benefit of our local farmers, although their harvesting is still not quite completed. The work to prepare for next year’s harvest is now underway, part of a continual cycle. Perhaps it is a good time to reflect on how in this country we are mostly blessed with sufficient for our needs, not necessarily the case in other parts of our world. However even in our local area we have need, as the local food banks illustrate, so if you are able to help meet that need you will find our three churches collect foodstuffs for that. 9
