Tim, Ted, Ticky and Tarbara took to their ten tonne transport task twith terrific talent and tenacity. Terribly the ten tonnes twere in three towers. Twas tmore tlike ten trillion tonnes treally!

Alas the alliteration always runs out in the end.

So the task was to shift the toxic soil out of the sensory community garden. Run by volunteers they have won RHS awards, but have struggled to fight off invasive weeds. So are in the process of getting the bad soil out to compost and then the new good soil in. Our team of 4 managed to shift the majority of the first of 3 piles of toxic soil. Even if Ed had a little accident on the ramp at one point.

Good luck take 2!
