Once again we visited the OWLS allotment on Ash Road to help clear weeds and make the paths accessible for the elderly members of the group to use. Moira met us there and told is how impressed everyone has been at the work we have done so far. We quickly got to work, concentrating our efforts on pulling up bindweed and clearing stubborn dandelion and docks embedded in the paths. The results were impressive....it's amazing how much difference 9 pairs of hands can make with an hour's concerted effort. We welcomed Jack for his first task and Christian and Hashim returning newbies.
