A team were at Berkhamsted School for the regular contract work and this week George did an amazing job digging out a conifer root. Triumphant!
Repositioning primrose plants so they can be seen when they flower – soon.
Fab job by a fab team. Team Berkhamsted path clearing and edging.
The XMA team were great especially in helping each other. First time for Leah and with the help of other team members she took to it like a duck to water. These 3 showered us with previously hidden talents with their USB skills. Well done.
Welcome to Marge. Sunnyside’s newest feline member – yes a cat is in there.
Odd jobs still require full concentration
