We were a small but mighty team monday evening when Helen and myself joined community lead for the farm Danni to move a mountain of soil from the top of the farm down to the new chicken enclosures being built.

with hand difficulties from cheesecake related accidents I decided to shovel rather than lift and Helen took on the mighty task of lifting and moving all the soil. We got a lot done in the hours session and the farm were very happy with the work achieved. a very noticeable dent was made in the hill!

My second GG event, and glad to be back in the fold

Met some really lovely volunteers, who were so easy to get on with, and was also supported by the indomitable host and manager Dani. Thank you everyone for a great time feeding the animals, and doing a bit of clear-up around the farm as well

We helped Thomas from Southampton City Farm move a bunch of materials from B&Q out of the parking lot - they'll be soon used to build a chicken coop on the farm grounds. We did this in a totally not competitive way.

We were also by no means influenced by the promise of feeding the animals and running with ponies if we finished early.

Having finished the task in about 30 minutes, we spent the rest of the time playing with the animals and helping the farm put them to sleep. We got to run through the school's fields with Salt & Pepper, the ponies, which were surprisingly quick.
