“I saw a post on social media – a person was giving away pears. Apparently, her parents moved to Spain a few years ago, and the house is up for sale. The lady is not keen on pears, but couldn’t bear to let them go to waste, so had numerous people go round and pick them, and any left she’ll donate to a food bank.
We have some nice pear and ginger preserve now, and still some pears in the fruit bowl. (It wasn’t expected, but I took some of my wild plum and blackberry jam to her.)”
This lovely example of kindness to both people and planet was shared with us on Mastodon.
