International Friendship Day – 30th July
IN LIFE’S GARDEN
Count your garden by the flowers,
Never by the leaves that fall;
Count your days by the golden hours,
Don't remember the clouds at all.
Count your blessings, not your troubles.
Never when life's worries call;
And when your life has reached it’s Autumn
Count the peaks and not the falls.
Count your nights by stars, not shadows,
Count your years with smiles, not tears;
So throughout all your lifetime,
Count your age, by friends, not years.

Time for a clear-out?
Delve back into that garage or wardrobe! It's time to sell your gently-loved goods at The Neighbourly Winter (online!) Garage Sale
On Saturday 6th July, members will be online checking out the goods on offer so it's a great time to get rid of your winter clutter.
Maybe it's time to realise that you're never going to use that snowboard or ski jacket, and that you really do have one too many heaters. Whatever it is, take a picture and put it on Neighbourly for locals to see.
