Work Party Day - Great Success!

A big thankyou to everyone who came to DigIn to help out at the work party today.  A massive amount of effort went into tackling some of the jobs that never seem to get done.
We had a fine day, both in weather - not as hot as its been recently, thankfully - and in company.
Lots of jobs were crossed off the list but there are still some left for Wednesday, so don't worry, there's still plenty to do!
We were treated to clotted cream, homemade jam & scones, doughnuts and cakes, so our efforts didn't go unrewarded - thanks folks!

Here are a few "after" pics, everywhere looks so tidy - wonder how long that will last?!


Neat path!

Here's a critter spotted admiring the work ... "Oh, I say, you have worked hard, I think I'll check out the bug hotel & stay a while ..."

Annual Tidy up


Steptoe and Son meet the Dig In storage container, or otherwise known as the annual Dig In stock take and tidy up.

Several hardy Dig In volunteers braved the cold weather on Saturday and made a terrific job of tidying the storage unit and removing several large bags of accumulated rubbish. We can now actually see some of the floor. We didn't have time to clean the polytunnel, but that will be the next task on the Spring cleaning list. Chris Davis took this photo to mark the event.
