Willow Trust Canal Boat trip
We had a perfect day for our canal boat trip with The Willow Trust on Wednesday 14th October. We travelled along the Gloucester to Sharpness Canal. We sat out on the deck in warm sunshine and the residents took turns to steer the boat, keeping us on a steady course.
After the trip Dorothy C commented on the journey in the mini bus saying, “It was a bit rough, wasn’t it? It’s the roads.” The boat trip, however, had been “lovely”.
Joan said, “We had a lovely day”.
Honey said, “It was great! It was a beautiful day, well planned and very comfortable. The company was great, especially the young man – made me feel younger than ever! We’ve yet to experience anything different. (It was Honey’s first trip with us.) I hope we realise how lucky we are. It’s lovely when you’re out with the men, feeling like this!.. see the photos below, click on images to enlarge..

Sundays:
Parish Eucharist: 10am

We would be very grateful if you would like to come to assist your relative or friend, or to accompany the group walking to any of these services. If you would like to help, please let us know. You can phone The Forbury on 01568 613877.

‘Autumn’ Poem..
Extract from ‘The Autumn’ by Elizabeth Barrett-Browning..
Go, sit upon the lofty hill,
And turn your eyes around,
Where waving woods and waters wild
Do hymn an autumn sound.
The summer sun is faint on them —
The summer flowers depart —
Sit still — as all transform’d to stone,
Except your musing heart.
How there you sat in summer-time,
May yet be in your mind;
And how you heard the green woods sing
Beneath the freshening wind.
Though the same wind now blows around,
You would its blast recall;
For every breath that stirs the trees,
Doth cause a leaf to fall.
