A GREAT BIG THANK YOU to all contributors for trip to help Greek refugees

[Gardenman]

I have just returned from my very long journey to Thessalon?ki Greece to deliver the clothes & toys you so generously contributed for the refugees down there. The charity I was working for Drapen I Havet A drop in the ocean are under huge pressure given the very cold weather & horrific conditions in the camps. There are serious security problems due to attacks by other factions!! So their problems continue to gather as European governments plan to send their refugees back to Greece at a time the Greek people are suffering terribly themselves. So, please continue to do what you can to help the organisations & charities working out there no matter how small, including asking your MP what we are doing to help. I do not intend to be political, but to bring awareness to a situation that we have a chance to make a difference.

We will be making a donation each month & looking for further opportunities to help this year.

And don't think I'll let you off there. Your gardening tips will be on the forum as soon as I've recovered, to help you sleep at night & get your garden ready for spring. Happy New Year 😊
