It probably is safe to make some tentative plans as we are allowed our freedoms back. The biggest thing will be having a family workday on a weekend, once a month. This allows people who are busy in the week to join in.

I am guessing that from April 12th we will be able to start proper workdays. At the moment it has just been a socially distanced two of us, snipping back and thinning trees, picking up litter and planting seeds.

Of course, as we come out of lockdown, the bird nesting season is well and truly underway, so, ironically, we are restricted in what we can do until September!!

However, I am sure there will be loads of snipping back, general tidying, and looking after bench areas by improving the views and staining the benches…

…wildflower recording, butterfly spotting, coffee to be drank, biscuits to be eaten and jokes to be shared.

So to recap – once a month, a weekend family workday, three Wednesdays a month the normal morning midweek workday.

Everyone welcome, no previous experience needed, just sturdy footwear and gardening gloves.
