24.01.2022 Sharing a Hills Christmas Hunter and I made a great team delivering all over the place. Hearing people’s stories, hugging me and being thanked by the community ...was incredibly humbling and reminds me of what we are all here for, to help each other out when things are tough or not so great. No one should wake up in the Christmas season without a little bit of love, a nice meal or a little gift. Sharing a hills Xmas still needs a hand tomorrow if you have a few hours free to help put hampers together, Deliver or tidy away please do. Thank you to Peggy and her amazing team doing this all and thank you to everyone who lent a hand, young and old.
