As seen on our local Facebook group.
'Evening Garstonians, I'm not a regular contributor in this group but this evening I felt compelled to write. Just after 8pm I got an unexpected knock on the door and whilst corralling excited dogs and with some apprehension I opened the door.
To my surprise I was greeted by two cheerful young gentlemen who politely offered me a bag of potatoes. They explained that they had bought them at a local supermarket at a bargain price and were distributing to local people.
To say I was overwhelmed would be an understatement.!!!!
Thank you lads you have made my day, my week, my year, I can't stop smiling at your random act of kindness.
We too often moan about our local youth but you boys have proven that Garstang has some true gems. Parents be proud.
I will enjoy the spuds and 
smile'.

The lads Mum quickly worked out who it had been from the messages she was receiving, and it turned out they had put the small change from their pockets together and bought 56p worth of 4p, 2kg bags of potatoes.
What a nice feel good story to hear of for Easter. 💖
In other news I sold my old curtains on Facebook Marketplace at the end of last week.
It added £20 to my little money stash that I am using to try and keep the money that is in my bank account actually in my bank account.
Every little helps and all that. 😁
But now I feel guilty for having that extra cash, so I think it will be half for me and half for food for our local Food Bank to give their shelves a little boost after the Easter holidays.

What a lovely gesture by those lads, they're a credit to their parents.
ReplyDeleteThey really are, and a lot of folk are commenting just that on the Fb post. :-)
DeleteHow very thoughtful of them. Such small gestures have a great impact
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely gesture from the young people and also from you in sharing the bounty from selling your curtains. Catriona
ReplyDeleteThat made my day. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteOne good deed (potatoes) deserves another (food bank) was my first thought. Have a good weekend
ReplyDeleteEmpathy is not dead after all. Those lads are lovely and so are you!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely story about the young boys handing out bags of potatoes and how kind of you to buy items for the food bank from half your curtain sale money!
ReplyDeleteHi Sue, I am new to your blog and am enjoying it. I was just wondering which nutribullet you have? I was thinking of getting one. Thank you and happy Easter.
ReplyDeleteSorry Sue, it’s me Jojo regarding the nutribullet
ReplyDeleteI have the very original one from years ago, it used to come with a grinding blade and a large assortment of beakers. It's just lasted well so I have never felt the need to get a new one. It is the '600 Series', but looking at the latest 600 series they look a bit different now and only come with the basic blender blade.
DeleteThank you Sue for the info, yours was good value with all the attachments. Will look at 2nd hand, maybe I will pick one up. Enjoy your Monday.
DeleteWhat wonderful humans those boys are! Well done on the curtain sale, it's been a crazy day for selling on Vinted today, I think everyone's bored. xxx
ReplyDeleteThe shops were shut and the keyboarders are all spending. How sad is it that so many have to feed the need to be spending all the time. But obviously it's very good for you, so I am not criticising too much. ;-)
DeleteWhat lovely lads, their parents would be extremely proud 👏
ReplyDeleteWhat an uplifting post, thanks for sharing Sue.
