Shops, Social thoughts and Scenery at Settle on 18 Feb
This time it is shopping with Althea in SETTLE, not at
Carlisle.
8am sees me collecting Althea, and us setting off in the rain for the Quaker Meeting House (about the oldest building in Settle) to the monthly Churches Together in Settle Big Breakfast at 8.30am -held in the new annex.

| Churches Together in Settle Monthly Big-Breakfast |
The speaker today is Ann Algie, and she is to talk about
Growing with Grace, the Quaker Inspired Organic greenhouses at Clapham. She does this very well - see her standing at the right and I will write about her talk elsewhere. She explains why she cares so much about growing vegetables and about people and communities growing vegetables.-
She and husband Tom are setting off for a new life next month, driving off in their van to France. They plan to do some organic farming when they get there. We all wish them well.
John Diggles, one of the Big Breakfast organisers says "Whenever I hear of an initiative involving community in a good way, you or Tom are involved. It has been an inspirational talk. We wish you all the best."

We arrive at Wholesome Bee. Wholesome Bee sells organic and health foods
-- and a selection of vegetables, some from Growing with Grace.
They act as a pick up point in Settle for people who buy "Vegetable Bags" from Growing with Grace
