Rotten weather, but willing hands make progress

The day started grimly, but at least it wasn't raining. Three of us pushed the cart across the central area, and ourselves to near collapse. We left it in the murk

and carried on to the soggy location we were clearing in the main reedbed. All went well for half an hour or so, but then the rain began, lightly at first, but then steadily drenching. By the time we reached the last load, we were all soaked, hot and very tired. Thank goodness for that winch!

Here is Chairman John's message of thanks to the volunteers who braved the conditions for the sake of The Common:

Hello All

 

My weather arrangements usually work out, but not today. We had one of the filthiest mornings I can remember, but work proceeded stoically and with good humour.  Given the conditions, we can be very proud of what was achieved and the whole Southrepps community should be deeply appreciative.  Thank you everyone.

 

Regards

John
