It was a beautifully bright and sunny morning as 7 GG Yorkies met Kristina at West Bank Park. We carried on from last night's group, shovelling lovely compost out of the huge skip into awaiting wheelbarrows. Alastair took first shift in the skip, then Tom and Stef had a go as well. Said wheelbarrows had to be trundled a fair distance across the park and along the yellow brick road (aka the beige/muddy brown cardboard path).

We delivered our first loads of compost to a large flower bed where another group of volunteers were planting bulbs. We then moved on to the next flowerbed and dumped the compost ready for more bulbs and wildflower seeds to be planted.

After an hour or so we left Kristina and the other volunteers to carry on and hopefully reduce the compost further before we are needed again!
