Never mind the trowel & the brush!!!  I think we need spades and diggers :P!!!!!

It was a good day cancan, I was quite happy with the amount I did & my bricklaying trowels were just the job but, better brush next time or two.

The sooner the better for the next visit, available for the 21st & 28th Nov, once we get into December, I think the weather will put a hold on the project until next year.

These trial runs have been going great, preparing us for the 1st big community day next year, a few more volunteers before then would be even better,
             Good Day All Round, regards Spatts.

Thanks cancan, the weather was very kind again wasn`t it ,and he dampness was of some help with moving mud etc.Mind you-- you did all that hard work.
Sorry we could only manage a limited amount of time but we enjoyed it.
Hope to see you again before too long. Viktoria.

Hi All,

                    ;D :o    Sunday 21st November     :o ;D
                                     9am-?????

I'm really pleased everyone is offering there time for this project!!!
And were all in agreement to get as much done as possible, as soon as,

Is the date agreeable???  That we go again!! Does anyone want to extend time, as last time we said until 1.30pm. As I know a couple of our volunteers do travel quite a bit!!!

Let us know, by signing below!!!

I think a couple more gardening equipment pieces required!!!

Weather permitting of course!!!!

Mr J.M. from the MLFHS is presently writing a small piece to be put into the MLFHS Magazine about our project!!  (hopefully I will ask if I can quote/paste the email I receive here.)  And possibly get some more volunteers!!

Hope to hear from you & See you all soon!!!

Cancan  :)

We will do our best to fit in but until I`ve been to hospital again this Thursday I am unable to make any hard and fast plans. But we hope to be there .
