Moorlands wildlife Reserve & Brown’s Garden Centre.

Well, lockdown has got us all stuck inside. So we decided to go and try Browns garden centre to get some bird feed, flowers and also compost. Not to mention feeding pots for the resident hedgehog 🦔 which comes every night here. Lovely place and friendly staff all doing there best and most customers keeping to the social distancing rules that were mapped out for us. 

Then we went to the Moorlands Wildlife Reserve down the road. Another beautiful spot that we haven’t been to. Didn’t realise how big it was!! Photos to follow. ☺️ Stay Safe and well. 

Mindy's Karuna Doves

Karuna Doves 🕊

My dear Kindspring.org friend after taking to social media more these days and also tech things, has been making doves, the oragami kind, which she has done for years and some time now.  She recently posted on www.kindspring.org about what Karuna means and the doves along with a poem.  Beautiful! <3 Feel free to join us all, I have just got my kindspring smile cards today that people get to leave in places (although, would people still leave paper during these strange times, on street corners and lampposts?) .  Here's the photo of the cards and little things I was sent. :)

and now this is what Mindy hereself said on the post:

Karuna is the Sanskrit word for compassion.
As the need arises, I am encouraged to fold origami doves. I have made and shared over 40,000 origami Peace Doves, with special flocks for loss, breast cancer, LGBT, etc…so, now I am making Karuna Doves.
These doves are made of bright solid colors and folded with compassionate intention.
A simple 5 petal lotus is drawn on the breast of each dove — signifying peace, love, hope, faith and healing. The message below is tucked into a wing of each dove.
If you’d like a small blessing of Karuna Doves to share, please let me know via private message. As my gift to you, there is never a charge for the doves, or for the postage.
Thank you for being the positive change we are seeing in the world, my kind friends.

We are all in this together.
It’s apparent,now more than ever,how what we door don’t doaffect each other.
Be thoughtful.Be kind.Share what you can.Encourage and support.
Keep making a positive difference.
These are the timeswe were made for.

May this dove always lead you in thedirection of Peace, my friend.
