We welcomed Miss Rennie and her wonderful Primary 3 stars today and a good time was had by all. Even the weather behaved!
We are already looking forward to more visits in the new term. If you could spare an hour of your time as a pupil guide, please let Stuart, Gill or Norman know.
The Council requires each plotter to mark clearly the number of his or her plot. But as this top ten of signs shows, identifying your plot does not have to be expensive or complicated.
Bright and breezy
Engineered to last
As nature intended
Ready for the road

Cheap as chips
Improvised and up-cycled
Welcoming
I think we can claim today’s visit by pupils from Kaimhill Primary was enjoyed by all, although Gill, Jacqui and I needed to go lie down in a darkened room for an hour or so afterwards! Thanks go to Mrs McKenzie and her team for all their help on the day.
Today’s Spring Bonfire had a bit of everything – snap, crackle and pop, not to mention the whee of exploding snails. We were faced with what appeared to be a mountain of material – old rasp canes, rotten timber, even whole trees.
However, the event went to prove the old adage – many hands make light work – as with over a dozen helpers pitching in at different times, the last bundles of stuff were consigned to the flames by the early afternoon.
With apologies to the many I failed to get photos of, it was great to see the site get a major clean-up and so much rubbish cleared away.
You will remember that we spent one of our Community Sunday’s at the back-end of the year planting 2000 spring bulbs kindly supplied via Aberdeen City Council. Well, it’s been a long, cold wait, but the fruits of our labours are now out for all to see and in their full splendour. They certainly add a lovely splash of colour around our site and bring the promise of better days ahead in the new growing season.
I popped over the site today thinking I might catch up on some of my winter digging, but no way – we have a winter wonderland over to the west end of the site.
If this keeps up we will have to replace gardening with skating for a few weeks!
