I went to see ‘Grow Your Own’ last night. This is a movie about an allotment in the north of England where locals go to garden and retreat from their otherwise humdrum lives. The little community of the allotment is upset by the arrival of “unwelcome visitors” - migrant refugees. This is a touching story about the threat of diversity and change, and ultimately, human triumph. I would highly recommend it as an uplifting and funny story.
The dominant themes of fear of change ring loud and clear. It is particularly timely as the wash of change creates ripples through the lives of people around me. Major moves upset people on all sorts of levels causing them to question the course of their paths. Is your current gig still relevant and worthy of investing large chunks of your time and energy, or is it time to move on to something that is really deserving of your efforts. What does it really take to make us sit up and question where we are headed??
It doesn’t hurt any to have a yummy dinner and a glass of red wine with a good friend beforehand, either!
