Well, January brought snow and cold and more snow and we all began to ask ourselves whether we couldn’t find better things to do on Tuesday and Friday mornings. As half term approached we wondered how we were going to occupy our visitors from Rotherham if the weather didn’t improve. But on the day, everything went to plan. Twelve students and four adult helpers from Rawmarsh Community School who had spent the week in Whitby, giving up their holiday and volunteering at a number of projects, joined us for the morning .
Many of us clambered down the bank and cleared rubbish that has been there for years, sorting it into wood, plastic, metal and glass for safe disposal. Everyone worked really hard and some people didn’t even fall over!
Others helped in the potting shed, planting onion sets and filling seed trays with compost.
So, we are ready for some new beginnings- a bank that’s been spring cleaned and seed trays good to go. Roll on the sowing season and some more fine weather.
…And when the work was done, it was thanks toStainsacre Hall for laying on hot drinks and somewhere to sit down before our cheerful volunteers set off back to Rotherham.
