Dorset FCN has been very busy hosting our two winter quizzes – more than 250 people joined us at Symondsbury Barn and the Udder Farm Shop. Both events were terrific, achieving the goal of getting people together to have a really fun evening, with supper and a quiz. Thank you to all those that supported the two events.
As I write this, we have definitely morphed back into winter: it is looking extremely bleak outside. But spring is just around the corner, and by the time you read this I suspect the sun will be shining on lush new growth: snowdrops, daffodils, primroses and, soon, bluebells. Of course there is nothing better than newborn lambs running around a paddock.
When politics disrupts the equilibrium of country life, it can sometimes be tough to see the wood for the trees. FCN are here to help and listen – if anybody is worried in the current climate, please do not worry about things on your own. Use your family, friends and community to help get through this period.
If you need us for any reason, you can email me (Bec) on bec.fcn@gmail.com or you can reach Barrie on Barrie.fcn@gmail.com
The confidential, national helpline is open every day of the year, from 7am to 11pm. Volunteers provide free, confidential support to anyone who seeks help: call 03000 111 999
