What a great day!! Compassionate conversations, followed by a wonderful volunteer creating a befriended flower display for the Ditchling flower festival, then an impromptu bbq with some Befriended friends at our home. A lovely evening of laughter, great conversation and contribution to Befriended. “I have had the best evening and never wanted it to end”, “the reason why befriended is so special is because you are genuine, authentic, kind, generous people” “thank you for making a mistake that led to us coming to your home for a wonderful evening with great food and friendship, please make more mistakes so we can come again”
