Today I saw love. A Man has been clearing the overgrown path by my house. Everyday he came with shears and chopped back the trees and foliage that blocked the path. He swept the tarmac, he climbed ladders to prune tricky branches.

I wondered why.

Today I saw him push his wife in her wheelchair along the path. He wanted to take his wife for a trip from her care home to her house.

The path was a barrier so he changed it.

The next Friendship Lunch at The Red Lion - Pen*stone Road is on Tuesday 12 April, with the fantastic Steve Gray, who will sing songs from his Rock n Roll Show...

Thank you to SOAR and People Keeping Well for initial kind sponsorship and to poster sponsors, Visiting Angels UK Norrie Waite & Slater and SCCCC.

Thanks also to Paul Foster & Tom Robinson-Bell for hosting this Friendship Lunch and the one at The Manor Barn in Kimberworth.
The date for the next Friendship Lunch at the Manor Barn is Wednesday 30 March, with Steve Gray...

Steve is making his inaugural appearance at both venues...

The Friendship Lunches are lovely events at which to meet old/make new friends, to dine and to have a dance... They are 'dementia friendly' and therefore ideal for those living with dementia and their families/carers, offering invaluable respite.

Please share and support.

Special thanks to The Star, Sheffield for regular features re Friendship Lunches, which undoubtedly encourage more people to join us month on month.
