Nature trail started!
A good turn-out this morning, despite the dull, grey morning. We’ve made a good start to the nature trail and we’ve picked up even more leaves and weeds. The primulas are still providing a bit of colour, especially valuable on a dull day. And the council has started painting the railings, a huge improvement even with only the undercoat.
Gardening Session, Wednesday 20 January, 10-11.30
There’s a gardening session on Wednesday, usual time 10-11.30. We’re hoping to get started on the nature trail, as well as the usual maintenance work. The forecast is OK too, cold but fair.
A robin, flowers, sunshine and ice
A fine winter’s morning in the park. The sun even shone and there are lots of flowers out, including primulas, a clematis and Puschkinia Russian Snowdrops! We did yet more tidying, organising the compost and started on bird box assembly, all supervised by very bossy robin.

New Year Gardening and Bird Boxes
It was a cold, windy but fair morning, so pretty good by the standards of 2016. We’d a good turn out of volunteers, all weeding, tidying and pruning.
And special thanks to Sinclair Campbell for cutting the wood for the bird boxes, which will be assembled in the next few weeks.

Last Gardening session of the year is on Wednesday, usual time. The forecast is awful, but you never know!
Coffee and Christmas lunch and some gardening
The grass and paths are now almost clear of leaves as we managed to squeeze in a bit of gardening before coffee. It was sunny and easily warm enough for coffees in the Park. 19 volunteers followed up with Christmas Lunch at the Old Chain Pier. Lunch was excellent: good food, excellent service, fine views and mercifully few photos.
