Thank you to the wonderful folk from Nottingham Trent University Future Factory, who worked so hard on repainting one of our beds on a blustery Wednesday. They also remained cheerful when the swirling wind kept blowing out the kelly kettle so warm drinks were delayed (we still think the kelly kettle is a wonderful device - next job - design a shelter!).

Being at Windmill, the NTU team had to use elbow-grease to take the paint off the beds, but they set to with gusto. |

Finished! Thanks to Angela, Hanna, Paul, Suborna, Siobhan and Andy - well done all! |
It was great to meet everyone, and we're delighted with the results of their efforts. Thanks to them also for giving the fire-circle and herb area a much-needed tidy up. And thanks to regular volunteer Lizzy for helping out as well, despite lack of sleep.
looks great... promise me i don't need to redo the ones onthe map to match!!!
