Sheila went to help the Friends of Oaken Grove clear out the pond. Recent rains have resulted in the task being altered, so we set to work removing all the objects that had mysteriously found their way into the half-drained pond. We recovered a traffic cone, loads of branches and bits of wood, several dog balls and frisbee rings, 2 fishing nets, metal rods, a sock and a bike front sprocket. The second task was to wheelbarrow chippings from the car park over to the other side of the park to mulch some new fruit trees. Hard work, but we were rewarded by finding a lovely fat frog. We were pleased we achieved our goal and we ended up with 10 beautifully-mulched apple trees.
