Village that fed intensive care staff during pandemic );
);
FIVE women who helped feed NHS staff during the pandemic are to mark their achievement by producing a cook book.
Jocelyn Lynch, Sue Remenyi, Jane Mather, Kristina Stitt and Sarah Wilkinson, who all live in Kidmore End, helped to deliver more than 1,700 homemade meals for staff working in the intensive care unit at the Royal Berkshire Hospital in Reading.
The initiative started in January when an anaesthetist at the hospital, who also lives in the village, appealed for help via the village’s WhatsApp group.
More than 40 villagers got involved by helping with cooking, delivering and fundraising.
Paul’s business sells top quality darts and dart boards. And as we were chatting I realised that something like a good quality dart board with a few sets of high quality darts could easily be a memorable gift. First of all, it is a little bit different. At the end of a year it’s quite common for some businesses to give a gift like a bottle of wine, a turkey or ham, a calendar and so on to some of their customers. Now this type of gift is fine to give. But it probably won’t stand out and be remembered for a long time because it is a fairly ordinary type of gift.
