Today’s Community Sunday activities involved dodging the weather quite a bit, but thanks to a good turnout we still got a lot done and everyone enjoyed themselves.
Thanks to everyone you managed along – and especially the flan, cake and scone bakers who excelled themselves today. Scrumptious! Our next Community Sunday is scheduled for 19 July – pop it in your diary now!
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.
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 am not sure if it is wise to bring up the issue of immigration just at present, but we currently have a couple of visitors or new residents on our site who are likely to bring the issue to the fore before too long. As they continue to eat just about every green shoot in sight and on site, suggestions for their repatriation to the far reaches of the Deeside Line would be welcomed I am sure.
Suddenly our plots have transformed into something magical. See more pictures in the Photos Pages (Winter)
Some photographs from the second annual BBQ by the Garthdee Fields Allotments Association. The event was greatly helped by clear blue skies, scorching hot sunshine and plenty of food. If this wasn’t enough the GFAA held a raffle!
