'Bloom' at the Lochend YWCA

I was delighted to be asked to open a new community cafe called 'Bloom' at the Lochend YWCA in my ward this week along with the Hibs goalie and local boy Andy MacNeil. Andy spoke well about the need for a healthy diet and exercise to go with it. My own comment was that as well as good food, the cafe offers a place to take time. There is nothing more important that taking the time to “break bread” together, space to talk and to listen to each other. We spend to much time “eating on the hoof”. Well done to Fiona and all her colleagues on a great project and I hope to join you there again soon for some of your excellent fare
