A chilly but bright morning welcomed the 6 of us to Windmill Hill City Farm for a task that gave us a good workout.

Our host Beth greeted us and led us to one of the paths around the farm that they are hoping to recover with hardcore before the farm reopens to the public.

Our job was to continue removing the packed down soil from the path and deposit this in the sheep pen which the path borders.

Using spades/shovels, some of the soil rather satisfyingly lifted up in slices whereas other parts were harder to break up.

Once on the spade it was then up and over the shoulder into the sheep pen in a nice flowing movement - thanks to Sarah for kindly demonstrating this technique whilst Russ was also showing us some stretching cum yoga cum meditation moves to break up the work a bit.

An hour later we were tired but pleased with our efforts, which rather resembled a field of molehills and with that Alexandra had soon nailed the pun for the task!
