Welcome to our newsletter, and a special welcome to our new
subscribers. I hope there is something here which attracts you and
with which you would like to be involved: if so, we would love to
hear from you!
After two difficult years, we are finding new energy and
enjoying an influx of enthusiastic new members; a big thanks to all
and in particular those who involved in the food larder and
community allotment projects.
The food larder project is doing a great job of minimising food
waste in and around Crediton. Which has set me thinking about the
tradition of saying grace before eating. It seems that we
increasingly take for granted the food on our tables, with little
thought for the earth which supports its production. So perhaps
it's time to revive the tradition of saying a grace. Here's a
suggestion which anyone could use:
'Give thanks to the Mother
Earth,
Give thanks to the Father Sun,
Give thanks to the plants in the
garden,
Where the Mother and Father are
one'
With best wishes from Sustainable Crediton, John Craythorne -
