Steph went to his 3rd community mission of the day : back at Bixley allotments and was meeting Matwinder. I was intrigued to see who took over from Mani. it was a good surprise as someone I know and already did good deeds with this person a few months back which included of planting trees in Southall Green. Yes it was Adel!! Todays mission was to sort out the compost area on the side of the shed. Tidy the back where brambles took over the top of the area, get rid of the rubbish but also create a new storage for the compost. With Adel, we retrieved several pallets to create a new enclosure. Then we cleared the brumbled area above the existing one, with collecting the blackberries which all the volunteers palette would appreciate. Once the area cleared, we put 2 pallets to create the frame and reinforcing the side and back. Adel would finish this tomorrow as is getting more pallets locally. We then skipped a lot of rubbish(bags, plastic etc). We hit a mile stone : check the massive stone I hit during the digging/clearing!! We found logs when clearing and created a fence/separation for the plot which also creates a natural habitat for the local insectes. A lovely robin came and watched us from a couple of meters. Once we finished, we were invited to have chai and black tea with something tasty items from the allotment for our palettes : sweet desserts, fruit and some snacks. On my way out of the allotment, I spotted beautiful sun flowers and had to take pictures of them as different colors.
