Crate work

The rain didn’t put us off this morning and we headed to Royate Hill allotments for some Saturday fun.

We were met by Mike and Joci who gave us a tour and a very interesting history of the allotments right from the very beginning. We then divided into groups and got to work.

We moved paving slabs around the chicken pen and wheelbarrowed loads of crates full of compost and wood chip. Lots of heaving lifting and spreading later and the paths around the allotment are less slippy and good to go for the winter.

When we were finished, we were treated to some homemade apple juice from the trees in the orchard before we headed back home to get dry!
