Another gorgeous sunny morning when we arrived at The Marsha Phoenix Trust. Sue welcomed us out the front and had a brilliant board of tasks and all the tools laid out for us. We do love a board.

We split into different areas, with Julian straight into tackling the brambles at the back, Jenny doing some dead heading and weeding out the alkanet & Jacqueline and Felicity picking up the scattered palm fronds before hacking back the brambles by the shed.

With a great array of tools to choose from we got really stuck into the tasks before it was suddenly time for a quick tea break and a bramble ramble chat about exotic Victorian plants & the local history.

With a new burst of energy we gave another bramble blast and were joined by a rather handsome feline visitor who came to inspect our work. Deeming it acceptable (we think) we then took to tidying up the debris, including a cheeky spot of bin jumping.
