Planting (and other tasks)

Tuesday, 2 March 2010

Location:Southwater CP

packing away the tea cups

An important part of our morning is the refreshment break. Matthew laid out the items neatly today so we could easily get our drinks and biscuits. Here he is clearing up again, afterwards. Thank you, Matthew.

'Twas a bright sunny morning when we took ourselves once more unto the childrens' play area, there to paint, plant, cut and disport ourselves in full view of the world. It seemed like the first day of spring -- 'officially' still 19 days away.

There were sufficient of us to carry out several tasks:

    • the wooden play equipment got another coat of black-ish preservative
    • some young oak, birch, bramble and other spiky plants were removed from inside the fence
    • some spiky dogrose were planted outside the fence
    • a barrier was built with the cut branches on the other side of a ditch, and
    • an attempt was made to drain the muddy area near the gate but a JCB is needed not a spade.
