Cometh the hour cometh ….

Our Community Sunday activities got off to a rather chaotic start today , with the usual suspects in very frisky and somewhat indisciplined form.  Peter for one seemed to be re-living a past experience of some peasant revolt or other.

 

Luckily, once he was done resting his fork, Phil stepped in, quickly establishing his front-line HQ and demonstrating strong and stable leadership (where have I heard this phrase before?) he started issuing orders to the troops from his mobile management communications device.

He soon had the team whipped into shape. As you can see this made a world of difference.

The phrase, Dads’ Army meets the Women’s Land Army somehow springs to mind. However, great progress was made on the Wild Flower Area Mark II and it was a great pleasure to welcome Priscilla and her family on site.

All in all it was another great Community Sunday.  Thanks to all who pitched up and apologies to those (many) others who yet again missed out on getting their photos taken.

 

 

Community Sunday

 

The weather seems to be set fair, so we are hoping for a bumper turnout for this week’s Community Sunday – 21 May.

Coming along is a great way to meet other plotters and get up to date with what’s going on around our site.  We have a lot happening right now and many helping hands make for light work.

I hope we will see the regulars and some new faces on the day.  As always, there will be coffee and cake (about 12.30) in the sunshine and plenty opportunities for a natter during and after the activities.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Primary School Visit 17 May

We have some more photos from today’s visit on the Galleries Page – visit via the Galleries Link above.  Thanks to Gill, Marion, Jacqui, Rona, Graeme, Phil and Stuart for all their help.

The gang’s all here

Today’s volunteer session was hard work in the heat, but great fun.  Thanks to Gill for coming by to lend her support and apologies to Anne for missing her photograph – she was moving too fast to get her in frame!

Celebrating with the Birthday Boy

Gordon, our longest-serving volunteer, managed to let it slip that today was his birthday, so we managed to arrange a wee celebration lunch for him.

A couple of questions:

How come after a morning gardening, Gordon manages to look like a visiting dignitary?

Is he lying about his age?  He doesn’t look anything like 59!

For sure, it was great to have him with us on this special day and we wish him all the best for many happy returns.

 

New beginnings – how exciting …

What a stonkingly great start!

Exciting times ahead!
