Leaflets. Predominantly made of paper. A cornucopia of words and images designed to elicit a response from those that receive them.

This evening we were delivering these bundles of papery joy to the denizens of St Werburghs. Splitting into two groups we covered some of the local roads. The leaflets needing several folds to go through some of the trickier letter boxes. It wasn't long before we ran out of leaflets and we were done. Weeding anyone?

For fans of road names these are the ones we did:

Horley rd.
Sandbed rd.
Tyne st.
Cleave st (evens).
2/3 Mogg Street to 31 odd, 18 even.

Until next time...

Well we laid down our burden but not in the African-American spiritual song … instead, 6 full bags of litter collected by the three amigos from the grassy verges of the riverside. We had to leave a challenge for next time in the charred form of a burned out motorbike … brrrring it on …

A lovely day greeted us at the farm. Today we tackled a large area bordering the walled garden. With brooms and shovels we cleared the area and wheel barrowed up the debris to take to the compost. It was a sweeping success even with a screw loose. Then off for a coffee to start our days🌟

To Mrs M’s I made my way, On a sunny, but chilly kind of day. A table, two chairs - flat-pack delight, With custom Allen key held tight.

Each bag was marked, A, B, C, Parts so neat - easy as 1, 2, 3! Instructions read, I took my stance, And gave those bolts no second chance.

But not alone - no, not quite, Dynamo the cat, basked in the light. He claimed the plastic, sprawled with grace, Then snoozed mid-chair, his chosen place.

A helpful paw? Not quite on cue, But moral support? Absolutely true. Piece by piece, the job got done, Furniture built, cat naps in the sun.

So mission done, with calm and cheer, Thanks from Mrs M, sincere. Another good deed, small but kind, With Dynamo's purr not far behind.

Sunshine, or at least not rain greeted us at Golden Hill Community Garden to help set up for the fayre (hooray).

We started with an old favourite of putting up gazebos, which apart from trying to put tent pegs into solid ground was finished in a flash.

After a bit of flower arranging we moved onto the main task of writing signs to go up telling visitors to the fayre what was happening. Writing signs doesn’t do it enough justice though as the creativity was unleashed like a puppy into a room of excitable school children. Who knew there were so many ways to decorate letters and the Battenberg cake looked almost good enough to eat!

Signs up and we were done. What a fun task as always.

Until next time…

A lovely morning greeted good gym at the farm. Assembling our tools from possibly the most organised shed I had seen we deployed to the front section to clean borders and sweep up leaves. We made a lovely edge and tidied the yard. Then a final photo and then a coffee to kick start our weekends.
