Busy November day for the patch

Despite the weather. We started today by going to Stanley Green First School, to help them renovate a wildlife pond in the school grounds. I had a sneaky feeling that we’d actually been involved in getting the original pond put in, because we had a grant for our own pond liner, and I think 3 others, and Mark remembered being involved in the original dig just at the end.

Then back to the patch to do a workday. Well, rain and possibilities of Mark’s stew meant mostly sheltering in the greenhouse and talking.
Then folk arrived for the planting of a Cox’s apple tree – part of a national campaign by Greenpeace against the third runway at Heathrow. Annette Brooke, MP for North Poole and Mid Dorset came to plant the tree.
