What a lovely evening for this week's task!!!

Charlotte, Tony and Julia met in the churchyard and after initial faffing with getting the keys Julia opened up the storage room to get the tools and summer bulbs.

We were planting these alongside a fence by the road so that the flowers can provide a splash of colours for passers by in the future.

Soon after Saj and Ray arrived and also got stuck in with the planting.

After half an hour we moved onto the second (improvised) task of clearing the Greem Alkanet which whilst looks pretty can really take over the land! This was a very satisfying task and Ray really got into his raking with great clearing results!

Well done to everyone for coming along - great social banter as usual!
