Just had a super morning helping to clear up the Churchyard. There were about 10 of us getting stuck in, the yew has been well pruned & now the cross has been revealed, providing a lovely vista from the path.
Gravestones have been stripped of unwanted ivy, saplings removed, roses pruned and just a good general tidyup. We were blessed with a lovely morning and we had almost 3 hours before the rain started. It was a very sociable event, lots of gossiping (whilst we worked of course) and a welcome hot drink part way through, brought to us by ‘Big Ben’ on crutches!
Thank you to Emily and Little Ben for their help and handing out the delicious cakes. See what you have missed out on by not being there. Have no fear, it is not finished yet, so if anyone has any ideas about how we can progress comments on this blog are welcome.
Thank you to everyone that helped and to Peter Trewhitt for the photos.
