Many smiles, waves, hello and greetings of ‘How are you?’
As I walk along the village footpaths and leafy lanes,
Rippling applause for the NHS and key workers echoes up and down
our lanes, breaking the stillness each Thursday evening, 8pm
prompt!
Community shop, deliveries, pub and village buddies providing much
appreciated services and -
Helping us all to stay safe, healthy and well.
Immaculate lawns and colouful gardens - what a joy to see -
Nesting birds, melodious bird song, dawn chorus, bright night sky
and sunshine -
Gambling lambs, bleating sheep, skittish calves and new life provide
us all with hope.
Thanks for the colourful rainbows, door hangings, cascade of paper
butterflies and stone painted, ‘Inspire Kindness!’
Only to be seen and admired in our caring, friendly village.
Nothing will surpass the special community spirit of Marchington at
this difficult time!
