Just a chosen few yesterday, the wind blew coldly after an unexpected appearance of blue skies in the day. We answered our RWQ on the go "what song do you sing most in the shower?" We had two appearances from Disney films - Encanta and Frozen 2 - each providing Dan and Hilary with catchy melodies to bellow out into an unsuspecting shower cubicle. Kevin went for Missing Andy, I'll do some researching into them now. Spandau Ballet's universally recognised Gold, was Brad's choice, but the Carlton Cole version, of West Ham fame. I always seem to sing Sinatra, and specifically Fly Me To The Moon - it's like a disease.

On arrival to the gardens, Hils took control and ably directed us. We were to dig out a trench, a relatively shallow one, perhaps big enough to put my unwanted Encanta memories into, perhaps not. Then layer that with cardboard, in order to suppress weeds, and eventually degrade down. Finally a nice healthy dousing of wood chip, to create a clear demarcation of where the path lies.

The reward to effort ratio of this task was in the right proportion, wasn't a back-breaker and looked very tidy and professional once done.

Nice one for getting stuck in team - I'm hoping to list a few more tasks today - we need some new connections. All tip offs much welcome!

See you beauties next week
