When is it going to warm up?! Not tonight at least as we were treated to a heavy hail storm as we helped resident Stuart weed the rose bushes of Palmeira Square! Katharine, Diego & Amro were particularly hard core as they kept going during the heaviest down pours whilst David and I looked on admiringly from under the partial shelter of a clump of trees!

But whilst the temperatures were low, our spirits remained high as we chatted away as we worked. I even managed to have my first ever Spanish conversation with an actual Spanish person! Thank you Diego for your patience.

Still lots to do at Palmeira, its a big area with only one council gardener covering several other seafront squares so Stuart is very grateful for our help and we will be making regular visits over the summer.
