Let’s hear it for Eddie’s 50th mission 🎉🎊. Not only this but he is an amazing support to GGR Wife Linda around the home 🤩 which enables her to do more missions than she would otherwise and he is also an enthusiastic regular and popular marshal at the local Park Run. 🥳👏🏻

Today and Eddie and Linda met up with SHP volunteer Chris at the SHP allotment. We were greeted by two panels from the shed roof on the floor along with the old tyre that had been “securing” them.

Ed got on with replacing the panels while Chris and Linda turned all four compost areas and dampened them down. Chris also did some weeding while Linda emptied the liquified compost from the very smelly compost tub on to the big compost to help it decompose.

A couple of the squash fruits had outgrown their stalks and broken off so we stored them in the shed for Mr T to find next time he comes as he was quite upset when the last couple went missing.

Relieving the allotment of a bag of its seemingly inevitable stream of litter we considered it an hour well spent, said our goodbyes to Chris and went on our way home.
