Running there seemed a good idea - Google maps said 4 miles. It was actually 4.5 and they didn't mention the hills!! No matter, the greeting was warm & welcoming and familiar GG team mates soon arrived to get stuck in. When you got down the lane the enormity of the task was revealed - a HUGE field to be made ready for planting up herbs, medicinal shrubs and even talk of an orchard in the future. An hour's thrashing, lopping and all things cutting made some headway before the sun went down (see photo!) but there's a long, long, way to go. GG can definitely go back for another mission soon!!
