Busy, fine winter morning
Lots done on a lovely winter morning. Even more leaves have been raked (still plenty to fall!), we’ve topped up the planting at the star and loads of bulbs have been planted in pots. Special thanks to Louisa and Erica from Quintiles for their help.
Damp Morning with Mice
The rain stopped just after 10 for over an hour before a proper deluge but eight of us got loads done in the dry spell, planting out various flowers, bushes and bulbs, spreading compost and loading the cold frame with overwintering geraniums. We unfortunately disturbed some mice in the compost bins. 
Glorious autumn morning
A great turnout on a lovely day! We planted bulbs, spread compost and collected rather a lot of leaves!! All a bit too much for Janet!
Autumn Flowers
There was lots of colour in the park in Sunday, but it all may have blown away by now! 
Children’s nature trail on track
The Friends of Starbank Park and Victoria Primary are working together to construct a children’s nature trail in Starbank Park. Plans for this exciting new development are well advanced. Our highly successful Halloween Party raised enough funds for us to bring forward our start date and we hope to start the construction work in the next few weeks. With fair weather, successful fund-raising and a bit of luck, it will be finished in the spring.
Huge turn-out on Halloween
It was a wonderful Halloween Party. Over 200 children and at least as many adults came along. The weather was terrific and everything went remarkably well, especially given the much larger than expected numbers. Many thanks to all who came along, the volunteers at the stalls who were all brilliant, Asda for all their generous gifts and to Janet for organising it all.
Dark, damp but productive
There was a heavy shower around 10, not good news. But it soon dried although it remained dark and damp. We helped Julie and her team plant the winter bedding (under Rocco’s supervision) and we cleaned out the bothies, ready for the Halloween Party on Saturday. The Autumn leaves still look fabulous.
