'What a lovely event you put together yesterday morning.
 Everyone seemed to  really enjoy it and were delighted
 with their efforts at wreath making. We were so lucky
 with the weather for our foray into the orchard.
It would be quite  different today! It was so good to
 learn more about the historical use of the plants.
 Thank you for all the thought and research you put in.
 What a great finish to our Year in the Orchard and we
 really appreciate all your  efforts.'

Inspiration from Goethe

“Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it now.”
