Halloween seemed an appropriate day to meet at Spital Cemetery for our last workparty of the year and to get ready for Remembrance Day. Maggie (complete with new knee) and I joined taskowner Karen and other volunteers. Our first task was to put up the poppies on the railings behind the war memorial. We decided to arrange them in a garland design, and after a quick bit of maths we fixed them to the railings, stood back and admiredour handiwork. While others litter-picked, and Karen spread some wildflower seeds, we had a stroll through the cemetery, checking that all the war graves were free from ivy, and then settled on a grave which was getting a bit over-run. No more workparties now until the spring
