5 GG Yorkies met in a spot of glorious sunshine to carry on the weeding of the beds at Danesgate School. It's also Ellie's 200th good deed - hurrah!

Laura, who attended the first bash at the weeding swore that they cleared two beds, but it had grown back with such vigor that it led to John contemplating if the roots of the weeds were from the Roman times. So, unsurprisingly, the task was to re-weed the bed next to reception before putting down some weed matting to stop them growing back for a third time.

We all got stuck in, but top marks go to Paul who was just a weeding machine. Bonus points are also awarded to our resident archaeologist Jon, who managed to find some pottery which he somewhat vaguely dated as 'post-medieval'. Once the hour was up, it was time to spread the matting over the cleared section and weigh it down with the ton sack of weeds and roots, and two very pretty pots of hostas.

Unfortunately, it looks like it'll need revisiting again to try and wrangle it under control - possibly with a bigger team next time!
