It was a fine morning, but the first real frost of the winter in Trinity.

Saturday Gardening Session, 12 December, 10-11.30
There’s a Saturday gardening session this week, usual time. There’s a lot to do and the forecast looks OK for the morning, please come along if you can.
Leaves, lupin, Christmas tree, tulips and squirrels
We’d a great turn out for a winter’s day. We’ve now cleared almost all the leaves from the grass, the Christmas tree was looking good (before the gale!) and there is still a remarkable amount of colour, including fuchsias and a very confused lupin. Bad news was that squirrels have been gorging themselves on tulip bulbs planted in pots. We should have known! We’ve rescued quite a lot and we hope the gluttonous squirrels don’t learn to open the cold frame!
Wednesday Gardening Session: 9 December, 10-11.30
There’s a gardening session on Wednesday, usual time. There’s loads to do, and, for what it’s worth, the Met office says the weather will be pretty good. Please come along if you can.
Wreath-Making at the Park
Despite the awful weather, there was one successful event at the park on Saturday. The turn out was good and the wreaths were excellent. We even managed to brighten up the bothy (though the hole in the ceiling was beyond disguise). Thanks to Janet for organising and Fi Duncan for leading the course.

It was so good that even Santa and assorted hangers on even came along!”

Dull, damp, planting bulbs and cleaning out the bothies
A fairly miserable morning but we had a good turn out. There’s a wreath-making class in the bothy on Saturday so it was all hands to the deck to clear everything out. We were surprised at just how much stuff we have. We also managed some bulb planting and leaf-raking, before the rain came back on.
Empty and cleaning up
Some of what came out!
