Four of us met Liz again at Manor to continue helping with their allotment area. We were joined by Liz’s neighbour Peter and a couple of students from the school as well.

I was set to work trimming back the bushes whilst Claire and Nick helped Peter to dig out and level where originally a pond had been dug. Alistair was helping Liz and the students around the back of the poly tunnel but joined in the digging fun later on.

The students brought out some drinks and snacks for us which were very welcome as the sun came out.

There was just time to help get some odd pieces of rubbish from the side of the shed moved around to the side of the school to join other various bits of unwanted furniture, etc to be dealt with at a later date. A possible “throw it all in the skip” mission perhaps?

After just over an hour we admired our work and the improvements we’d made to the allotment which is an ongoing project.
