We stained the rest of our benches this week, starting at what was the quadrant of four, more on this later.

Two coats of Ronseal’s finest. Muggins here forgot that the benches serve as a great surface to crack open the coffee, so we had to settle for the ground whilst waiting for the benches to dry!! Whilst I love freshly ground coffee, I think possibly not in this way!

It’s all about looking after the work we have done over previous years and getting the most out of it. Judging by the rain we have had since, it was a good move.

Our good friend, Andrew, has made us a replacement bench for the one that is missing at the set of four. We used it further down the path when it got kicked over. This means we will have our quadrant back and is a great meeting place for larger groups. We put this in next week and, I promise, no further bench blogs after that.

Views from the quadrant.

I am in the process of getting the bits sorted for a once a month weekend-workday, and also trying to get the recording of wildflowers and insects bit, up and running. Should be able to share next week.
