Sunday saw a group of volunteers at Morville to help Chris and Sarah with the gardens. The weather was lovely and warm, with daffodils in full bloom everywhere. We set about bringing the borders out of hibernation, clearing weeds and dead branches. The resident dogs were very inquisitive, but kept far enough away, leaving us to work.
This was the last time we’ll work with Chris and Sarah as they are moving on, so watch this space for more details of the new tenants – a young family of five. We would like to thank Chris and Sarah for their hospitality during their time at Morville. It’s nice to know that they are to stay in Shropshire, having fallen in love with the area.
Whilst we’re never paid in monetary terms for our work, we did have some chocolate coins today – along with very nice fruit cake, provided by our hosts!
A productive day, with plenty more to tackle on our next visit.
