As I brought Mr Shackleton home from Church last night, we saw a small snail moving up his door. It is hardly surprising with the flip flop of Indian like Summer to downpours that we’ve been having. These little creatures, along with the slugs are making a ‘run’ for it. They do not elicit much compassion as humans tend to feel warm and fuzzy about other kinds of life, but they are all fascinating in their own way, and their toil is not easy.

There are about 99 species of just the land snails in Britain and Ireland. They generally have a lifespan of about 2 years, and as the weather gets colder they will hibernate to survive any harshness of winter. They feed on plants and bark, flowers and fruit. If you have ever seen a snail feeding, which is usually at night, you will observe them chow down in earnest for such a small creature. It is really quite something!!

Well we were chowing down on good energy last night as Sarah MacLaughlan came to visit and gave such a lovely address drawing on the readings, and then brought some lovely messages for some. Thank you so much Sarah!! What a lovely evening chaired beautifully by our own Barbara.

Thank you to our readers, our hospitality. Carole did not disappoint. Julie on music, our healers, and all those who set up and break down each week.

Prayer of the week.

Please pray for all the those in the world who will find themselves outside with no home, and no shelter. If we can just understand what that does to someone, we will realise how blessed we are despite our own challenges

Calendar up next.

Have a beautiful week. Watch the puddles and the snails!!
