Not Dropping Out

In these interesting times it's currently not possible to have our monthly Drop-In in the Church Hall, and I'm sure those who have attended, regulars or otherwise, are missing the heady mix of home baked cakes, a nice mug of tea or coffee (or hot water!) and a lively conversation about the world in general and Long Eaton in particular.

BUT we're not giving up, we're not dropping out (!), either from our regular get-togethers or our parish community

Not everyone has access to, or is a fan of, Facebook, WhatsApp, etc but this way everyone can and is invited to join in. Whatever interests you might interest us, the latest piece of news, a brilliant recipe you’ve found and tried, doing something for the first time or asking advice about something. This was what our monthly Drop In used to be all about - connecting and sharing with each other.

I’m sure we could try to give it a go but it will only be successful if you join in. It doesn’t have to be paragraph after paragraph, unless you want to. It could be something you’ve seen elsewhere, something you’ve discovered, your new interest, how you keep your spirits up. It could also be a noticeboard for recommended suppliers, i.e shops delivering to people who are isolating or shielding. Maybe you could also give shoutouts to someone who has or is helping you. Basically the list is endless.
