Dirty work (& words)

More nettle battles tonight at MX.

We met another member of staff from school today and her team is going to be out in the garden once a week from September which will definitely help.

We filled the big garden waste sack up twice, a bin bag with rubbish and gathered up far too many plastic bottles (I saw the caretaker as we left and he's going to collect them for recycling)

While working hard we learnt some new vocabulary from Lucy, shared the croissant stealing seagull story with more people and used a variety of pain relieving words when we were taken by surprise by a rogue nettle!

I can confirm that the gloves were nettle proof but I clearly need an entire outfit made of this material as I have still managed to get stung 🙄

Thanks to Val for most of the pics (a great groupie "shoot, shoot") and to Harry for the pic of Lucy wrestling a long root.

Great work by everyone tonight, thanks your help!
