The spell worked
People came to the picnic. They brought food to share – an abundance of food! The facepainter worked so hard and with such good grace. The kids were friendly and the primary school food festival was tasty and fun.
It worked! People stepped up, with practical help, food, encouragement and ideas. The question now is: what's the next step? How do we keep weaving these threads together, keep momentum up, build the positive bubble around the park to protect it from neglect and harm?
To be pondered.
