    On the subject of the FB , last week I visited a Lucie's Pantry run by Emmaus. These pantry's seem to be springing up around the local area , not just run by Emmaus . Of course the members have to pay £2.50 and in return they get to have around £25 of food . I think they pick their own items as well, the one I went to was busy , didn't ask any questions as didn't want to embarrass the people shopping in there . Have you got any of these pantry's your way ?
    Life is an adventure, never stop exploring.
