Coffee, Cakes and a little Weeding

We tidied and weeded during a glorious morning but only as a preliminary to the day’s main event, Janet’s birthday party in the park.  The star of the moment blew out her candles and we all got on with the serious business of gluttony.  Not much left at the end…

Starbank Park is looking good.  We have sunflowers and gladioli for the first time and the primulas have even started flowering again.

Floral display, weeds and beans!

A fine busy morning today and the park is looking good.  Many thanks to Julie Milne and Dave Dorward for coming down to discuss possible displays in the star next year.

The rest of us got stuck into weeding and tidying the Devlin Fountain, the Newhaven Heritage boat and the geraniums at the north wall.  Another couple of barrow loads of weeds are now slowly composting.

And Janet found time to pick quite a few broad beans in the park this morning.
