Share the love

The SHP allotment struggles for support as their clients are so transient. They now have a client who is a keen grower and anxious to get going on the project. Sadly the allotment had been very neglected over the winter and the recent clement weather has made everything very overgrown. With the task being too much for one the SHP requested GG to go in and help clear the pathways.

Ed and Linda got started at each end of the path between the shed and the water butt with AJ a welcome addition to the team working from the compost up towards Ed. AJ and Ed share a love of similar books and films and were merrily chatting away as they worked to clear the waist high grass. Linda was using the strimmer and not able to talk to anyone. 😁

Either way the time passed very quickly and we ended up doing an extra 30 mins so not only did our little areas of path clearing join up together nicely we had also managed to clear a little bit around a couple of fruit trees and detangle the rasberry bush from the undergrowth.

AJ then cycled off for her second mission of the day and her 100th with GG 🥳🥳
