At this week's Drop-in yesterday we had fun & worked together to tidy up our wildlife garden and gave the pond a much needed clean.

Stunning weather for the Cody Dock Waterers this morning. Our busiest session so far with 8 attendees. So pleased as the gardens & growing space really needed a good watering today. After the session we all relaxed by the river with cold drinks and got to know each other bit more
