Damp and dismal and a few good deeds

I cannot help but mentioning the Irish weather. It's damp and dismal at the moment. Generally it is much more unpredictable compared to Finnish weather. Today, however, the rain and wind was balanced by the warm welcome fellow Ballymaloe student Annemarie and I had by the people at Penny Dinners in Cork.

Penny Dinners started as a soup kitchen during the famine in the 1840s and they still serve a hot mid-day meal to those who need it every day in every week of the year. We had a good few hours there peeling potatoes, doing the dishes and making sandwiches.

Idag åkte studiekamrat Annemarie och jag in till Cork för att göra en insats hos Penny Dinners som serverar ett mål varm mat åt de som behöver det. De har öppet 365 dagar per år och det gick glatt och livat till. Vi skalade potatis, diskade och bredde smörgåsar.
