I make bread,
Each week I make loaves,
And every time I make them
I give one to my neighbour.
My neighbours bake cakes,
And bake biscuits,
They share them with me.
They come over the fence
In one of their tins,
But that tin now has a name,
A new name,
It is now known
As Andy’s tin.

- Comment from author about the poem: In these Strange Days when I make bread, I do so at lest once a week, I give a loaf to my neighbour, they are a young family with two boys, one of three years old and the other about nine months old. They are a wonderful family but are struggling a little in these times so I make their bread for them. I occasionally get cake or biscuits in return and they now come over in 'Andy's Tin'. I found the video on YouTube and was blown away by it, it is wonderful.

Well, that's the sort of thing of real Christianity - love in action - showing it to 'the least one of Jesus brethren', as He says and commends. Such people are sheep, not goats. Baaaa!
A church supports a Drop-in Centre for the homeless. I've been buying goods sometimes, and putting it in the box in some shops.
Difficult to give online to some churches - they want regular donations only. Getting greedy? The y are seeking regular income I suppose.
Sharing is so rewarding in all sorts of ways dear Andy - -- great to hear your kind experience with neighbours - - and many thank yous for the wonderfully vibrant music.
Thank you Fay, yes it is rewarding to do what we can to help others, I always have been that way.

Bon Apres Midi Mon Oncle Andy. Merci pour La Musique eclectique ! Piano Accordians always evoke France for me ! It is a Yesterdays Instrument ! WE used to have some virtuosos in Liverpool who played for the Beach Missions in the 1980s. Now replaced by electronic keyboards ~ poor substitute ! Thanks for the memory ! Yes there is an instinctive share & care movement throughout the UK. Angela has a Plastic Box with ANGEL on it (Her name is the Spanish an ANGEL ) she is a good Confectioner and her BOX is always returned with a *Quid pro Quo* ! My Grandma tells me it was like that in WW2 ~ OK Let us hope & pray it will continue ! Our Poem today is about KIDS choosing more *Caring Professions* because of COVID ! As a member of the Royal Society of Chemistry I do visit Comprehensive Schools to talk about Careers in Science & Medicine. I always stress it has to begin EARLY with good grades in Maths & Science & Computing @ GCSE and Science & Maths @ A Level etc. There is no gain ~ without Intellectual Pain !
Blessings & Peace to You & Yours
Love BRIAN & ANGELA 💛💛💛
I couldn't find "Andy's Tin" on YouTube,
Your poem and your actions are so heartwarming, for for many even a slice of bread is a boon in these troubling times.
Thank you Suresh, I try to do what I can.
Andy
