Please see attached a copy of our residents’ harvest poem.
We thought it was so good it deserved a place in the paper if you would be able to facilitate this!

Harvest
Harvest falls in autumn when the nights are drawing in. You can see the combine harvester hard at work in the fields, lit by the harvest moon.
It’s the time when we bring in the apples, barley hay and crops. And give thanksgiving to God, in a service of celebration.
Children love apple bobbing and playing with conkers. Walking through the beautiful coloured leaves as they head home to eat the fruits of our labour.
Harvest is a joyful time of the year. When we think about the farmers and how hard they work, planting the good seeds of the land.
Which reminds me of the song “We plough the fields and scatter the good seeds of the land, and it is fed and watered by God’s almighty hand”.
It’s time with family, meals and being all together.
That is what harvest means to me
