It was great to be able to join Caroline on her first mission this morning - yay! Go Caroline! - as we visited the lovely Mrs C in Fishponds to finish off moving the stones and mesh from her borders.

Mrs C had also been able to borrow a small mattock so whilst Caroline busied herself with stones and mesh removal, I set about tidying up and de-rooting the areas that had already been uncovered.

As always Mrs C chatted with us whilst we worked and refuelled us with a cup of tea and some wonderful homemade pineapple tarts.

Our task completed, Caroline realised that one of our community mission beneficiaries are always in need of gravel to cover their muddy pathways and so hopefully we’ll be able to arrange for the bags of stones to be collected and put to good use! Nice!
