A hot humid day in early June saw the landgirlz out in force. Health and safety geared up and petrol motor purring, the SA landgirlz began the tasks of slicing bramble to its knees! A sweaty afternoon of cutting, weeding and seedling transplantations. Weeding with only a left arm proved too much for the broken wrist landgirl so she retired to the seat as the SA girls retired to their home comforts of beer and SA rugby. Leaving the last woman standing to hoe away.
Great progress on both half of our plots. Afew plants have succumbed to pests and non germination but all seems to be progressing well.
Elsewhere on the site a few bare-chested men worked away, but in all a quiet day on the site. The mystery of the half-filled water butt remains unsolved. Our guardian angel must have filled the water container as the news of a broken wrist spread throughout Rodborough. Thank god for water fairies!
D recons she looks like a bumblebee... I recon it could be her calling...
ReplyDeleteIt was worth leaving early - SA beat Wales in the Rubgy by the way... xxx
