Congregating for Consolidating

We were welcomed to St Saviour's by members of the congregation who were excited to have us along. Our presence was appreciated by all, one lady commenting "with a small aging congregation we are getting a bit long in the tooth for all of the jobs", another replying "some of us don't have any teeth to be long!"

The three of us switched between various roles throughout the day, but for the most part Kat was focused on clearing the car park area of weeds, grass, moss and other detritus that had engulfed the space over the years; Ash and James were on pothole filling and consolidation duty. Wheelbarrows were loaded with sandy gravel and taken to the areas in the driveway with holes. The gravel was shovelled into and around the holes and cracks by one person, with the other using the cool old skool 100 year-old roller to consolidate it. "We were on a roll!" The weather was fine and we had a crushing time. General foreman Ash made sure James gave the gravel a good 'ol bash!

1 tonne of gravel was put down and consolidated. 3 wheelbarrows of vegetation dug up and scraped off the surface of the car park.

After all of this, we had some chats and snacks as a group and tidied away our tools. We were told that we'd be very welcome back as everyone had thoroughly enjoyed having us there. They will not be disappointed, we'll be back for more!
