Sheila, Angela and Sol made their way to Oaken Grove Park to help the final section of the "Mud Operation".

We helped with clearing mud from the upper pond. Angela was hands on with putting mud in buckets. Sheila and Sol took on duty of wheelbarrowing mud to the side if the nearby hedge. Later we swapped tasks around as wheelbarrows felt heavier as time went on.

We found a small baby toad - he was so cute. We were blessed with a spectacular sunset towards end of our mission. We all expressed satisfaction with the end result and asked Jacqui when water will be switched back on to see the pond in full glory again.

Thanks go to all who managed attend any of Oaken Grove Park sessions. Mission completed!!

An epic project complete - well done to all involved!! An extra big cheer for Sol for leading. The rewarding sunset was very much deserved! x
