Today - May Day is a great time for new beginnings, and it was interesting to notice how pretty much everyone that turned up was in the mood to do some Spring cleaning!
Admittedly, the shed (or "the House of Mouse" as we'll need to call it after a whole family of them moved in) is in dire need of another clear out, and probably a complete revamp, but the forecast showed the potential for heavy showers, so we concentrated on the outside instead. Everyone worked really hard, and it shows.

Lizzie, Scott and Dean did a great job of scything and mowing the grass in the orchard.
Hassan and Chris moved the tyres from the polytunnels and used them to create potato towers.

We had a visit from a local resident who found out about us and wanted to see what we do. Komala is from Nepal, so we were delighted when she promised us some seeds from a native Saag plant that she likes to cook with.

Komala visited us to find out about Windmill. Tracey showed
her around. |
Lunch was a Moroccan inspired dish with chickpeas, that used the last of our Acorn squash from last year, along with our onions and Rainbow chard.
