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 had a great evening this evening removing a large amount of himalayan balsam from along the local riverways. Having completed a couple of similar tasks with SCC last year we were confident with identification and how to handle the balsam and those new to it were fascinated by the alien like roots and how simple it is to remove.

Balsam is a very invasive plant that erodes local riverbed and banks unless it is kept on top of. We all did a stellar job clearing the site but particular kudos goes to Robert who cleared an extremely large clearing within the hour!!

ellie and i had a lovely evening along weston shore. We litter picked and walked around 1 mile before jumping in the sea for a dip!

We abandoned our plans to run as it was too hot but got plenty of activity in otherwise whilst helping clean up the shore line
