Hello Elaine!

26th October, 2023

Our newest Coach House volunteer coordinator has been here before - but only remembered that when she returned to give service!

Elaine Marshall-Bradley arrived in August to join our team, but it was only when she was mindfully walking with retreatants that she recalled a previous Sharpham memory.

"My first experience of Sharpham was decades ago, in the 90s," said Elaine. "I had answered an advert for help in planting trees as that's a great passion of mine."

"I came and planted some of the trees in the sloping orchard at the front of the House - probably not very many because it was quite hard work!"

"I only remembered it when I was doing a mindful walk with retreatants. And now I've eaten some of those apples!
