Maundy Thursday: Margaret's Maundy Money

I'm not sure if you're aware of my own annual tradition of Margaret's Maundy Money but if you're not, I'll explain a little.  Basically, I take all of my loose change to the bank which I've amassed during the past year and change it into 50 pence pieces.  I then place these in a secure hessian shopping bag and head for the town centre where I'll hand them out to deserving causes.  One year a PCSO was called to the scene because there was a bit of a scuffle for the last coins and an altercation started to boil over into near-anarchy.  Anyway, since then it's been a fairly easy process.

I can't say that I relish washing the feet of the poor, but I carry out this task in the local old people's home every other Sunday.  I hope by reading this you'll discover what a lovely and well-rounded citizen I am.  I don't do it for myself of course, but the buzz that the random acts of kindness create reverberates around my acrylic clad body.
