As I arrived at Thorlands this Saturday, it seemed the first task for me was to locate the team, all of which had journeyed to a previously unseen secret storage area of Simon's. From there we carried back a couple of scavenged wooden poles 👀

When we made it back, Simon gave us the task of removing nails from some planks of wood. For the bare-eyed crew we thought stray flying nails would not be a good idea, but we decided Jo's spectacles could be collateral damage in the unlikely event of flying nails (sorry Jo!). We left Jo and Alex to it sorting that out and the rest of us moved across to the kitchen garden with some tools. We dug deep and with determination to get the roots of some bindweed roots which had been previously missed, and were causing a re occurrence of bindweed running up the gate.
