Just over a year ago I voiced the possibility of changing the toddler group at Upnor, for a while toddler numbers were dwindling as children (including my own) began to enter the world of education. As we got to that summer some mums voiced concern over missing the opportunity to meet with others during the day once the children were in school and some more mature folk voiced feelings of isolation. so I had the brain wave of opening up the group as a drop in for anyone; not to be in competition with the amazing drop in cafe in Frindsbury but to complement it, for many in Upnor transport is an issue so providing a space locally was important.
Over the past year numbers have fluctuated but these last few weeks there has been a real buzz in the air of ages mixing together from birth to a little older shall we say! Each generation looking out for the other amidst hot toast, croissants and cakes and hot drinks.
Of course the last few months I've had time to be there no time restrictions or work pressures and it's been a real joy. Today I've felt a real glow from being there this morning and it felt just how life should be and indeed church...all ages interacting together...if only that was the case !
That's well spoken. www.rosyomeje.com
