Carlton resident, Jenni Holding, has launched
an exciting new business creating and delivering
boxes of delicious food.
Hazy Graze was started during lockdown when
Jennie matched her passion for food with an idea for
a high quality food delivery service.
Always up for a lunchtime treat, we ordered a couple
of boxes to munch on while we were holding a staff
meeting.
We ordered a box called The Main Event (pictured
above) – three meats, three cheeses, felafels,
hummus and plenty more besides. We also decided
to order a ploughman’s box – think pork pie, sausage
rolls, grapes, cheese, celery and baguettes along with
amazing pickles. They also do an amazing afternoon
tea with homemade cakes and scones.
As usual our eyes were bigger than our bellies and
there was plenty left for the following day.
The boxes are £25 each, delivered, which is pretty
good value considering the amount of food you get
and the love that has clearly gone into preparing
them.
If you are wanting to treat someone or even if you
want to spoil yourself then we wouldn’t hesitate to
recommend Jennie and Hazy Graze. Find them on
Facebook.
Kind-hearted school children from Netherfield
Primary School designed and created 100 Easter
cards for members of Netherfield and Colwick
Senior Citizens Club.
Loneliness is tough to deal with at any time, and
especially so during the recent lockdowns. And if
you live alone, as many older people do, feelings of
isolation are often exacerbated.
At a recent online meeting of the Co-op Gedling
& Netherfield Forum, common themes emerged
of loneliness and isolation in various community
groups, including the Senior Citizens Club. The Coop
Member Pioneer for Netherfield, Alison Marsh,
suggested that the schoolchildren of Netherfield
Primary School could make Easter cards for the
Senior Citizens, and the head of the school, Jon
Crone, readily agreed.
Jon said, “It was such a positive message for our
young children in Years 1 and 2 on their return to full
schooling. They were able and very willing to provide a
ray of sunshine for others in their community.”
The cards, with postage funded by the Co-op, were
much appreciated by the Senior Citizens. Maureen,
82, said “My card is a real keep-sake, and it is so nice
to be thought of in these difficult times.” Peter, 74,
agreed: “Thank you so much, you have made my day.
It’s been a tough time lately on my own a lot, and I will
treasure my card.”
