Great to see eight of the twelve-strong Friends of Holcot team coming together to tackle some much-needed chores around the village.
The leaf mulch along the pavement opposite The White Swan stood no chance as six of the team attacked from all sides. The enthusiasm and tenacity shown has seldom been seen this side of lunchtime – and passers-by stood, amazed and swooning at such skill, energy and manly endeavours.
(And thank you, Hayley, for some much-needed half-time coffees. But what… no cake?) :0)
Meanwhile, further along Main Street (and in a rather more sedate manner), the two remaining volunteers approached the next target. Channelling their inner Alan Titchmarsh, they worked their horticultural magic on the suckers invading the majestic lime tree (Edward Scissorhands, eat yer heart out)! The second-phase attack will continue next time – watch out, you suckers…
Friday 20 March is the next scheduled day of action – so watch out for us and cheer us on!
