August Planting a beaut...
A bonza time was had by all. The Planting site was full of lovely soil, awaiting the return of natives. The Planters converged upon the site in concert, a flourishing movement of spade, pick and glove. The choreography spontaneous and grand. The day a treat!
The whole experience is a vitalising one. The chance to contribute,to just spend time, in such a magnificent setting is energising.
To top off some tidy work planting, some tidy work of wine and dine was called for... and so it was that the planters then converged upon the Glen Alice Hall and a fine & mighty repast was partaken of, a luminous slide show lit up the interior of the shed and a great many plantings of the past both recent and distant were perused...! Local wine was consumed, gregarious chat ensued, more wine of a rather more indistinct origin downed, and an even better time was had by all. After puddin' poets and balladeers spruiked late into the night. The P&C raffle was drawn and won...and twitching spoken of...good stuff.
April is the next planting...
