Signs of Life


Matt was looking particularly pleased with himself today. A smug grin was spread across his cheeks. Wes and I were cold and grumpy - it was about 1 degrees. “I have some apple pulp!” said Matt cheerfully, as if it justified his good mood. He then proceeded to dump it on the compost bin. After about fifty minutes of the three of us weeding lethargically, we decided that it was far too cold to be outside and headed off to the greasy café for a very much undeserved full English breakfast!

We did however take some pictures of our progress over the last couple of months. Thank you to all of our wonderful volunteers who made this happen!


Two planted beds in the background consisting of winter lettuces, brocolli, onions, broad beans, peas and garlic.

Finally our compost bins were cleared. We found some very fertile compost hidden amongst all the rubbish!
