Four of us met in the car park at Stile for a lift share to Biddulph this week.
The task had changed from the advertised one of Dahia bulb digging and sorting to the more arduous ones of badger fence construction and willow stump removal. Despite a few heavy showers the day was mostly dry with some sunny patches.
We had our breaks in the charming Cheshire cottage volunteer room which is well appointed with comfy chairs and brew facilities. The passages underneath the cottages representing an Egyptian tomb had been decorated with plastic rats, skeletons and other macabre objects for Halloween and a recorded sound track of screams and the gnashing of teeth made for interesting brew time listening.
At the end of the day we were invited to the on site cafe where we were treated to pots of tea and massive pieces of chocolate cake. All in all an interesting and productive work day
sorry no pictures of the day itself.
