What is going on with the weather? It's cold! Far too cold for May. Lucky for us though the sun was out and shining in time for our meet up at 6:30pm. With Pam, Peter and I walking down from the start location and Maya, Devajani and Kam meeting us direct at the allotments there certainly was a-llot to co-ordinate! However, that's easy when you have an organised team in place.

We did have a little hiccup tonight. On arrival at the allotments, my key fob wasn't working so we couldn't get in. I thought, thistle be an interesting task! But after a few friendly shouts of 'hello' to other plot holders, one kind person let us in. Never a dill moment!

Now we were in but had to work out how to get out later as you needed the fob to let you out! Oh well, we had 45 mins to work that problem out!

With today being the first time at this task for Devajani, Peter and Maya I gave them the low down on how we came about this task and our involvement since 2019. Lovely to have Maya join us on her first task.

We do a-llot of gardening tasks and they do grow on you, but it's always great having people who actually know what they are talking about. Peter, Kam and Pam certainly give some sage advice!

When it was thyme to finish, we cleaned down the tools, took our 'after' photos', prayed that someone else would be leaving at the same thyme as us so we could actually get out (there was and we did...), we then took a nice stroll back.

Next week we are meeting on a Tuesday as it's bank holiday on Monday. It's a community mission (so meet at the task location), and we will be helping St Mary's Farnham Royal school was a garden task.
