Tonight was our first (but definitely not last) visit to Shearwater to lend a hand in the garden. Shout out to Wilson for setting this one up and also bringing her mum along to help too.
The main task was wrestling with the bindweed. Angela, Jo and Harry managed to uncover a laurel hedge underneath all the bindweed as well as a bit of air conditioning pipe and some tissues. No pants though!
Bleachy won thr prize for most weeds ripped out in the least time.
Aoife, Jen and I concentrated on the flowerbeds which included the discovery of many stinging nettles as well as the bindweed. The activities coordinator was really pleased with what we did, I think it was only the ants, spiders and earwigs who weren't as happy!
20 bags filled by the end, refreshments drunk and a few fairy cakes eaten and then it was time to head for the hills.
We'll be back again the first Wednesday in August.
