About a month ago my grandaughter Willow needed a bit of a project to do on the run up to Christmas and as her wider curriculum subject is Animal Appreciation I thought it would be nice if she spent time helping the local Mayflower Animal Sanctuary in her village. As you have to be 16 to help out there i suggested she do a collection for 'Give a Cat and Dog a Christmas Dinner', her Mum got in touch with the centre to make sure it was ok for Willow to collect on their behalf. Willow and her Mum designed a leaflet to put through letterboxes round the village with a collection date for donations on 20th December. I helped by doing my own bit of collecting and some people donated cash for me to buy the food. It was a resounding success, just look at this lot!!
An estate car full of food, blankets, clean towels, toys and treats. People were so generous and full of praise for Willows efforts.
We all trooped down to the Mayflower Animal Sanctuary in Austerfield yesterday for the handover. Jenny, the manager was astounded at how much had been donated and told Willow she was an amazing young lady. We are all so very proud of her and I m sure the cats and dogs will be very grateful. Happy Christmas to all the staff, and to all the animals at the Sanctuary I hope you will get your forever home in the new year.
Today as a pre Christmas treat we took Willow to our favourite eatery, The Mayflower Bar and Eatery, Austerfield, they are renowned for large portions so we asked for three small ones and we were still stuffed full!
Well Done Willow!
Thank you for popping by,
Take care
