I'm just catching up with my admin haveing got back from a good break (National Trust working holiday in Cornwall) - so in Sue's words - here is what we did just befor I went away....
We worked from 10am to 3pm weeding in the Pinetum. The weather was very hot and sunny, although we were lucky enough to work in the shade.
It was a relaxing day and people were able to take time to chat, amongst themselves and to the general public who were walking by.
Although Paul, the gardener, couldn't stay with us, he meet us at the start of the workday, and came back later to check that we were all ok. He'd provided tools in his little buggy trailer and, when any of the little kiddies walking by were interested in it, we offered them the opportunity to sit in it and for their parents take photo's.
We took the A boards and some leaflets were taken but, on the whole, the few people who visited Biddulph on the day, were elderly and not interested - the England match seemed to have kept the visitors at home!!
After we'd finished our weeding, most of us went for a walk round the gardens.
All in all a relaxing enjoyable day, but a shame for Biddulph that so few people visited the property on such a glorious day.
