Hibernation is over!

The weather may still be raw, but we were doing more than looking forward to Spring this week, Linda, for one was getting ready for it.
Monday was painta-coupla planters day:  We've acquired quite a few over the past two or three years and they mostly go on Town Street.  I think these are intended for Old Lane, outside St Anthony's.  Painting them made me

wonder what the people who wanted rid replaced them with.  Parks Department will empty them of rubbish, fill them with compost and put them in place for us -Thank you Parks Dept.  (Masonry paint washes out well, by the way)

Linda is in the midst of putting together our pamphlet for Yorkshire in Bloom's Spring Judges - not an easy task when you have to cover their list of criteria with words that tread the line between not wishing to brag and recognising the need to sell. Thank you Linda.
Saturday was big work party day.  I missed it but Linda didn't so here is a pic from her.  Thank you to everybody who turned up.
Sara said it was a good couple of hours work and if you compare Linda's pic with this you can see the difference yourself, without having to drive down the ringroad.

Here's a thought to finish off with.  The trouble is (and it is giving me the giggles) the only patch I can think of as half way suitable is the border at the edge of the bowling green. And if you don't get the joke then if nothing happens next week, you might just get 'the saga of the bowling green border'.
