Fresh from leafleting we returned to the farm. We had a much smaller (but still mighty!) compliment this evening than we normally get at the farm but still did an excellent job (if i do say so myself!)

We have been involved in the community nature days the farm have been running helping to build a sensory 'living food bank' maze.

A membrane has now been put down and our task for the evening was to transport the woodchip at the front of the farm down to the maze site and lay a path using the trusty wheelbarrows and shovels.

We all got stuck in and were well looked after as always by Danni and Thomas who as ever supplied us with good tunes and some nice chats.

Hannah fully utilised the opportunity to take some anger out on shovelling woodchip - not just good exercise but therapeutic too!

It was good to see the maze finally coming together after another lovely evening at the farm
