I don't know why I bother looking at the weather forecast these days. It seems a bit pointless. But despite an unscheduled shower, the rain took a pause just as we arrived at the raised beds outside the old Trinity Hospital. Julian and co did a run through the park while Fiona and I trundled down from Christchurch School Community Garden with the tools for the job, the litter pickers, loppers and trowels and forks all packed neatly into a very handy barrow. I don't know what to call it because it's far more sophisticated than a barrow.
Anyway, we got to work and spent a very satisfying 45mins weeding and between us collected what must have been 10 or so barrows full of weeds. On the animal front we watched some peregrines wheeling about above us and Kerry was particularly taken with several snail families who we had unearthed from the wilderness and who we re-housed in their tidier shrubbery. We even left some GoodGym leaflets out for those curious passers by who couldn't help smiling to see us working away.
Finally, nursing lots of nettle stings, we called it a night and made our way home. Job very well done team!
Next week we're back at Hervey Road. Until next time!
