After delivering my gift of compost and a Christmas tree, I joined birthday boy Al, Claire and Miki who were already hard at work weeding. Claire was using her amazing claw fingers to scrape away the weeds like a green-fingered cat! Great progress was made and the forest is looking beautiful in the sunshine.

We then sat down to a cuppa and a slice of plum-upside-down birthday cake (thanks Claire!) and a chat about aliens, before heading off to enjoy our days.
