It is a lovely sunny day so I have pulled out all the book trolleys.
Stop by and find a special book or puzzle.
There is some food available in the community pantry too.

Hope to see you soon :)

COMING SOON - COMMUNITY HERB GARDEN
I have been busy getting things ready for a little herb/vegie garden in the front yard. It will hopefully be finished off in the next week or so. If anyone has any of the following plants spare I would really appreciate them
Garlic Chives, Lemon Balm, Sage, Dill or Lavender

Once set up and running then visitors are welcome to collect some fresh herbs when you need them for a meal.

A sad post tonight. I had some kids visit this afternoon - they were looking for a while and I could hear them chatter etc. When I went outside later they had left things all over the ground and also kicked in/broken the drawers that the non-perishable food is in :(
So now I will be on the lookout for an outdoor cabinet, filing cabinet etc to put the food in - if anyone has anything please let me know.

Very disappointing ...

Wanted....
If anyone has some big yoghurt containers or 2 litre icecream (tall/narrow style) to use for herbs etc by the mailbox I would appreciate a few more :) Thanks

Also - I'm on the lookout for a metal /weatherproof cabinet (even an old filing cabinet could work) for the packets of food etc for the community pantry. If anyone has anything suitable please let me know

Thanks :)
