Primary

Back to meal hill. We were; myself, Sophie, Arthur, Jon, Tess, Dianne, Jess, Lee, Stephen, Peter, Dave, Philip, Bob, Ben and Geoff.

We planted 300 hawthorn, 50 blackthorn, 5 dog rose, 5 hazel, 5 field maple, and 5 crab apple.

Sophie provided an absolutely outstanding "rocky road" type cake at break time.

Song suggested by extended conversation at break time. The poster for this song replaced the famous Athena tennis bum poster on my teenage bedsit wall.

Winter Wonderland

Any Saturday it doesn't rain is a Wonderland as far as I'm concerned

This week we planted 375 hawthorn, 100 blackthorn - which amounts to about 70m of hedge.

We were: Cath, Kayleigh, Sophie, Tanya, Geoff, Dave, Bob, Steve, Steven, Jon, Jack, and myself.

Cold, but dry weather, some light snow on the ground.

Slightly late finish, but we emptied our tree bags this week, no leftovers. Top work!
