Little acts of kindness are wonderful things. Like arranging the flowers for church service on Sunday.
Each week a member of the team of dedicated ladies takes it in turn to prepare two vases of fresh-cut flowers, one for each side of the altar.
The beauty of nature in its rightful place.
Despite the recent and continuing heat-wave the Children's Eco-Garden at our church remains in fine shape.
Sustained by regular watering, coupled with an increasingly sophisticated series of eco-friendly pest-control methods, the plant-life has been kept alive.
And now the garden is starting to flourish. The sunflowers are out, a cucumber is growing and a fledgling tomato has been spotted (and eaten) by a small boy!
Ah, the miracle of growing things, be they plants or children!
