ImageIf you see someone who doesn’t have a smile, give them one of yours.

It doesn’t cost anything, except possibly your pride if you get scowled at, and even this is a worthwhile sacrifice.

Smiling uses fewer muscles than frowning, is very good for your health, and you may even change the course of somebody’s day.

Image How hard can it be?

If you don’t feel comfortable inviting them out for a curry / drink / coffee, then try starting by asking for their help with something, such as carrying a heavy piece of furniture upstairs or putting out your bins for you whilst you’re away.

Your neighbours may be more willing to lend a hand than to receive offers of help from you, and it could lead to a friendship that you weren’t expecting!

ImageMost of us have an ‘ecological footprint’ that is fairly damaging to God’s beautiful planet. Why not try to reduce yours by cutting out both the transport miles and excessive packaging of supermarket goods by shopping for local produce.

As well as the various farm shops around, for locally produced food and wine try visiting some of the farmers’ markets listed below?  And why stop there? Hosting an evening of ‘tasting’ either locally produced or fair trade food and wine could make a great Home Group or Cluster social event!

  • Farmers’ Fayres, Saturdays 9.30-12.30:
    • First of month – Linton Village College
    • Second of month – Comberton Village College
    • Third of month – Impington Village College
    • Fourth of month – Great Shelford Memorial Hall
  • Cambridge Farmers’ Market, Sundays 10.30-4.30, Market Square
