A host of Golden Daffodils!

The roadside display of Daffodils has returned to it's former glory following a somewhat muted display last year. Very sporadic blooming led to a very uncolourful March.
This year however, the roadside bank once again is showing off the colour of our lovely park, with an alomost continuous strip of varied yellows and whites. A most welcome sight after a particularly dismal winter.

Spring!!??

On  a gloriously sunny afternoon, an ever faithful team of the 'Friends' gathered to do some much needed work in the park. On the agenda was the removal of the not very successful willow arch. Having been planted several years ago and had a deal of work done to it since, it was decided to take it up. Fortunately, there was a small team of council workers carrying out some repairs to the mill and they offered to take away all of the plant material for us. Very fortuitous!!.

Further work was done on the 'wetland' bed, which in reality is not wet at all. It was decided by our horticultural champion Stella to remove all of the existing plants and begin again. "We need colour" she insisted. So We set to and pretty soon we had removed most of the overgrown plants and handed them over to our friendly council team to take away for us. A pleasant and sociable afternoon spent in our lovely park, with the added benefit of coffee provided by Carol.
