  you\nThank you so much to everyone who supported and\n\nsponsored Chloe a
 nd Sidney.\nThey have raised an amazing £1015 (plus £200 gift\naid) for 
 The Little Princess Trust based in the next-\ndoor county of Herefordshire
 .\nThe children had their hair cut last Saturday which\nwas the first time
  in three years. The hair\, which has\nto be at least 12inches in length t
 o be useful\, plus the\nmoney raised will be sent to the Trust to make wig
 s\nfor children and young people who have lost their\nown hair through can
 cer treatment or other illnesses.\nThank you again for your support.\nSue 
 Dunne - Peopleton\n\nSummer is a time for holidays and opportunities to\nt
 ake time out to think and reflect on life and the\n\nuniverse.\n\nTo conte
 mplate not only the evils constantly raging on\nevery side but also to thi
 nk about the deep and\nmeaningful things which make every-day life such a\
 n\njoy to live.\n\nThere is nothing much better than sitting in a shady\ng
 arden listening to the bees and contentedly letting\nnature just get on wi
 th ‘being’ around you.\nOver the next few weeks\, I hope to offer the 
 odd\nthought or idea\, or phrase which has resonated\nsomewhere in me at s
 ome time or other.\nIt will be a random mish-mash of something and\nnothin
 g I suspect\, but occasionally maybe something\nwill touch you and perhaps
  make you think you too –\n\nwell that is my hope.\n\nWe all strive in o
 ur lives for ‘something’ – different\n‘somethings’ for each of u
 s of course\, different ways\nto be and grow – but this first little off
 ering comes\nfrom Michelle Obama in her book Becoming.\n\nShe writes:\n\n
 ….It’s all a process\, steps along a path.\nBecoming requires equal pa
 rts patience and rigour.\nBecoming is never giving up on the idea that the
 re’s\n\nmore growing to be done…...\n\nIf you would like to share some
 thing with others by\ncontributing a little something for the Pews News\n\
 nplease do let me know on\nbowlandbenefice01@gmail.com\nThe school holiday
 s will be here very soon. A difficult\ntime for some parent struggling to 
 feed\, clothe and\nlook after their children\, so donations to the various
 \nfood banks are as important now as in the cold winter\nmonths. Please do
  pop items in the collection boxes in\nThe Pantry and St Nicholas Church\,
  both in Peopleton\nor at the collection points available in most\n\nsuper
 markets.\n\nTo be what we are\, and to become what we are\ncapable of beco
 ming\, is the only end of life.\nRobert Louis Stevenson.
