Diya and Kanika went down the Gringer Hill to help out the lovely people of Nature's Haven. They are clearing up a much neglected space for planting a dwarf orchard. This means a lot of digging and pulling of deep rooted stumps. Just what we love!

Over two hours spent there and the effort told a story. Mostly on their own at first and then helped by Claire and Jack, the two managed to clear out a fairly large area (check out the before and after collage). It involved rescuing many worms while a very interested Robin watched on - if you listened closely you could hear her lips smack πŸ˜‹. We cleared out some hefty roots and had some lovely chats along the way.

The worms were returned to the emptied bed and covered over with the soil, overseen by the Robin. We bid a jolly -ho and headed back satisfied with the morning's work.
