The kindness of strangers

Unforeseen floral offerings moved Friends in Norwich recently.

Bob Ward, of Norfolk and Waveney Area Meeting, set the scene: ‘The Gildencroft in Norwich is an extensive Quaker burial ground graced with mature trees along with a surfeit of scruffy nettles. Normally the walled area is locked to keep out vandals.’ He added that local Friends had felt that it ‘would provide a serene spot for an outdoor Meeting for Worship’.
