A little thank you to someone special! ❤️

I arrived at the Drive-In this morning to find that someone had taken the time to collect rubbish from some of the out-of-the-way places around the grounds and leave it neatly beside our bins.

These are areas I may not always get to as often as I’d like, so I really appreciated the effort that had gone into cleaning them up.

I have no idea who you are, but I want you to know how much I appreciate it.

There’s always plenty to do behind the scenes at the Drive-In, and arriving this morning to find these areas had been taken care of was such a lovely surprise.

So whoever you are, thank you for your kindness and for giving us a helping hand. It really did make my morning!
