A beautiful autumn morning in Holgate for planting bulbs.
With a good turnout and some soft ground we made light work of the task though everyone's footwear may take longer to clean.

Storm Claudia was visiting, but she couldn't curb GoodGym York's enthusiasm. Michal was magnificent, providing hot tea & cookies to warm us up pre & post task. We planted daffodil bulbs on a virtually vertical steep grassy bank. It rained all day, we arrived soaked so the continuing rain didn't dampen our spirits as we chatted. We dug holes & planted bulbs, but our bags just didn't seem to be emptying. Sam had a lightbulb moment & so we increased the number of bulbs per hollow - otherwise we'd still be there! Nikki won the accolade for muddiest but hardiest as she was clad in running shorts. Hopefully we may return on bright sunny spring day to see, "A crowd, a host of golden daffodils" as a famous poet once said.
