| Bryan Stringer, Lee Borrell & Susan Stewart arrived at
"Burlinson House" 11 - 11.30 on a bright day in September - just a little
autumn "nip" in the air.
The tasks in hand were to do some tree identification, treat the new fence at the front of Burlinson House; move the lopped branches Rick had lopped last week from the side garden; spread the gravel which Bryan had fetched for the paths around the herb tablet and the alpine garden; trim around the pond area for the forthcoming pond dipping event and paint the boat seats. During the course of the afternoon, Jaymie Quinn, one of our members, dropped in to join us for lunch and coffee. We have noted form Paul Heaton's diary in the lower greenhouse that he had been down and had planted some wildflower seeds and foxgloves. The bees will love these. We started with coffee and a chat with Bryan and then separated to undertake various tasks. Susan spread the stones at the herb tablet and alpine garden to emphasize the pathways, while Lee and Bryan moved all of the branches from the side garden to make a 'barrier' behind the garage. After this Lee and Susan cleared the pathway around the pond and began with the painting whilst Bryan cleared away all of the overgrown plant cuttings. We then had lunch followed by more painting and Bryan beginning the tree ID of the garden area. It was a productive day with 1 boat seat area outstanding and can be done at the next workday!
