An elite team of vehicle cleaners tonight meant we managed to clean not one, not two, not three, but four vehicles!! I think that might be a record?! Clearly all the practise we’ve had since we started helping Rose Road has paid off as we’re now so efficient. We left a sparkling fleet all ready to take the children and young people out for their summer trips. Hopefully they will be just as grubby next time so we know they’ve been on lots of adventures!

Finn and I joined the Friends of Portswood Rec, clearing up brambles and and other weeds around the park.

We cleared the tennis court which was slowly being invaded by weeds, dodging the occassional tennis ball.

Denise was really happy with our progress and would even like us to come back sometime - a great task overall.

We joined Jill and the lovely volunteers of Woolston Station getting the gardens ready for a Railway 200 event planned for later in the year. Chris, Wilson and I were tiptoeing through the flower beds pulling up the grass, leaving in tact all the wildflowers just coming into flower. This called for a little more delicacy than we have had in some other gardening tasks. We always enjoy learning about the different plants and improving our green finger skills. There will be more sessions in June so we will be back when hopefully we have had some rain.
