RedFox Blog: Community Shopping.
Post 744 1/10/20
First this post seems to out of cantor with the rest of my blogs on Thursday. But! it is not the financial state of the above company but what it does in the communities it serves. It seems weird to me that the operating model of the Co-op is one of caring and value to the community it serves. If the store does well then the community it serves does well. This is because that 1% of a stores takings is distributed among the community the store serves. And! the good the store does the better off the community. However there are people that want to shop at the Co-op.
The Co-op in our community has just started and that links to the community it serves has yet to be made. But! the community must become members to help distribute those takings. And that here is a real problem because many people will not become members. It is frustrating to encourage activity that will do the community good. Charities should really be the recipients of the money the store makes but I fear that our Co-op’s money will be spent on things our community council will not spend money on. And that is a point that should be taken up.
The Beginnings Of Autumn.
Well the nights are drawing in now and the clocks go back one hour as GMT kicks in. But the days also darken with more rain and wind in the air. Also the temperatures drop by day and this means that when Autumn comes to an end in December snow will be lying on the ground. But the environment also slows down. As the early frost lays its icy grip in the mornings the birds will retreat to warmer climes. It is a time of year also where leaves fall on the ground and services like rail will claim that they are the wrong type of leaves.
Yes Autumn is now drawing its hand over our weather. But! there is something great full we must agree with. And that is that the very hot weather will not be around but then there will be very cold weather to be had. But we humans can get and keep warm by putting on the heating and snuggle down under the duvet. This is the way we can keep warm. It will not be long for the snow to arrive and when that does we will have to dig our cars out. And the roads will become more slippery. Another sign of the struggles that we face when Autumn comes.
