This is what 20 cubic metres of soil looks like:
The volunteers started arriving before midday...
The first shovelful:
Then they worked through the rain until 5pm to shift ALL 20 BAGS!
Fuelled only by juice and homemade biscuits, Davina, Isobel, Pat, Ed, Frances, & Gemma from the project were helped by invaluable, valiant volunteers Aadil, Alan, Anne, Edith, Eileen, Hubert, Isobel, Jane, Joyce, Kate, Kiraz, Leah, Leyla, Mark, Mary, Melanie, Mike, Nicky, Pat, Phil, Precious, Richard, Stephen, Stig, and Tom. And Sama, Dave, Wendy and Ru dropped by to offer moral support.
We were overwhelmed by their support and can’t thank them all enough!
Here's the last bag being emptied
And the final shovelful
Phew.
