So after ‘Leaf are the best days of our life‘ and ‘the sequel’ we’ve been back to Ferndale School again to tackle a different project; clearing the area around the pond. Here come the girls in the form of Teresa, Jenny, the Moylett sisters Becky and Alex and C’mish leader Gina along with Jane the school representative on this beautiful fresh sunny morning to tackle the nettles, brambles, thistles and all things prickly and nasty. We recovered several balls floating around in the pond to replenish the schools diminishing stock, I’m sure the children will be suitably impressed when they return to school on Monday though I’m sure it won’t be long before the balls go back over the fence and out of reach. Jane supplied the jammy dodgers and before we knew it, it was time to tidy up and retreat via our chosen ways safe in the knowledge that once again we have done a great job and made a massive difference to the area. Jane was most pleased with our efforts and she herself participated just as we had.
