Tidying and renovation at the park

Another fine autumn morning at the park on Wednesday!  We spent our time tidying and weeding, getting ready for the winter bedding plants.  IMG_4347 (1280x503)The Friends were not the only busy people in the park.  The painters and joiners have started the renovation work on Starbank House and parts of the Laverockbank Road boundary wall are being repointed, all excellent news.

The Friends of Starbank Park have been weeding together for a year!  It was a good excuse for a celebration, so we had coffee and birthday cake (thanks Liz) in the park, then a birthday lunch in the Starbank Inn (which was excellent!).

But we did do some work today, weeding, tidying and preparing for the compost bins.  Sandy did a brilliant job on the crescent.  IMG_4315 (960x1280)
