I’m ‘running’ a leg of the marathon relay on Sunday. Eeeek! 😱 Got my T-shirt now, so it’s all becoming very real!

There’s so much happening for Kitchen for Everyone York (KEY) at the moment. We’ve just won the Community Kitchen Award at the York Press Food & Drink Awards, and this Sunday we’re taking on the marathon relay! 🏃‍♀️

KEY is entirely volunteer-run (excuse the pun! 😂), and every penny raised goes towards providing food and essential supplies for vulnerable people in York.

If you fancy donating a little loose change, my little legs will be eternally grateful! ❤️ Every donation, however small, really does make a difference.

We’re also ALWAYS looking for volunteers to help either on the outreach trolley or in the kitchen. It’s only once every six weeks, so it’s not a huge commitment, but it makes a real difference to people who need a helping hand.

So, wish me luck! 🤞 This is just one of the crazy things I’ve set myself the challenge of doing in my last year of being 60! 😂💪

Thank you for your support, and fingers crossed these legs get me to the finish line! 🏁❤️

THE TEAM KEY T-SHIRTS HAVE ARRIVED! 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️💙

On 18th October, some of our amazing KEY volunteers will be swapping their aprons for running shoes and taking on the York Marathon Relay to raise vital funds for Kitchen for Everyone York.

Every pound raised will help us continue providing warm meals and support to people experiencing homelessness or in vulnerable situations in our community.

Please sponsor Team KEY and help us make every mile count! Every donation, big or small, really does make a difference. 💙

Did you know that Selby Abbey is roughly the same distance from us in the opposite direction to York Minster? 😊

It’s a beautiful historic building and well worth a visit if you’re staying with us at Westergate House. A lovely place to explore and perhaps discover somewhere a little less familiar!

Every time I pick the raspberries, this little chap (or chapess!) sits in the tree next to me and sings its little heart out. ❤️

Of course, I have to have a little chat with him, as if he’s my Dad. 🙄🤪

Silly really, how these old bits of folklore stick with you… but I still can’t help thinking that when a robin appears, it’s someone popping by to say hello.

And isn’t nature just amazing? You can be doing something as ordinary as picking raspberries and suddenly you have this little visitor keeping you company.

It’s the simple things, isn’t it?

When you live near a beautiful city, you don’t always appreciate it quite as much as you should. Sometimes it just takes seeing it from a different angle… or hearing it in a different way. 🔔

We recently had the most delightful and charming American gentleman, travelling around the country by bus and train, stay with us.

He left the most amazing review, which we would like to share with you. After a very busy few weeks, it was a real tonic and reminded us exactly why we love this job — and why we haven’t retired yet! 😂

Thank you, David. It was an absolute pleasure to have you stay with us. ❤️
