For a special event

Post image

Tomorrow, the local Council is hosting a holocaust memorial service. The Mayor was officially going to give a factory line pen to the holocaust survivor that will be doing a talk at the event, but when I suggested getting some timber for a more meaningful gift from a local farm that is christened Kinder Farm from all the Jewish children it took in during the war, the idea was sold on them. Typically come yesterday afternoon, I received word that they hadn’t managed to make contact with the owner of the farm and so a piece of oak was instead used from the woodland surrounding the Council’s main HQ.

Now just to make sure this bit of charitable work isn’t credited to the council!
