Jess and Sol arrived first and met the working party in the graveyard for a task briefing.

By the time Jen arrived, fresh from Parkrun, at 10.15 they were working hard raking a marked out patch of lawn down to the soil ready for a wildflower meadow to be planted. Jen's pair of hands was a welcome addition.

It was lovely to welcome firstimers, Barbara and Aaran to their first community mission. They didnt hesitate to grab rakes and get stuck in. Aaran even tried his hand at using a spade to skim the top of the grass ...not to dig though, we didnt want to disturb the skeletons even though it is halloween month.

Amazing Amy was able to join us for a short period too and as she joined in the raking action, Jen, Sol and Jess went off to another area to plant English Bluebell bulbs and bud plants.

Meanwhile the rakers turned their hands to sowing the wildflower seeds into the newly prepared area by which time Lisa had arrived and joined in the action too.

A bit more planting, some ivy clearance and cutting back of brambles and it was time to call it a day.

What a satisfying way to spend a sunny Saturday, with great company too.
