Dunham Massey

Six volunteers turned out to Dunham Masseey and spent the day cutting back the grass along the edge of charcoal drive in the Deer park. We were invited to take a long lunch break, to visit the gardens where there was entertainment in the form of a brass band, and a punch and judy show. There was also a circus skills workshop - though we got out timing wrong for that and it closed for his lunch shortly after we arrived.

It was a nice day afterall while we were edging Charcoal Drive - we made
good progress and Doug, the 'warden in training' was pleased with what we'd
done.
The deer came quite close while we were working and, after lunch, one of
them sat down at the side of the drive watching us work.

We were lucky to be given free tickets by Doug for the lunchtime event in
the garden. Photo's are enclosed of you, Mick, Pip and Arthur taking part
in the Circus skills workshop. There was also a Punch & Judy show and
an orchestra playing, which we could hear as we strolled around the gardens.
