Yesterday, Thursday 5th September, we were helped by five volunteers from BT who came to help us as part of their company volunteering scheme. The area between the allotments and the path has a lot of bracken and other vegetation growing on it. We removed a lot of this earlier this year in May but it has regrown and it was time to cut it back again. It had rained a lot overnight, and there was still some rain falling but even though the BT volunteers hadn't used scythes before they were keen to give it a go.
The rain had returned but they didn't give up and kept at it.
They mowed and raked then dragged the arisings off and put them in the pit. While they worked the rain kept falling and became quite heavy ...
... but they didn't stop and kept going until the job was done.
It was a marvellous effort and we were so impressed by their hard work and cheerfulness in such awful weather conditions. Well done girls, BT should be proud of you.
