The Van Stadens Forum met at the Reserve today. It eats into our working time but well worth it to keep contact with our neighbours and interested parties.
We delivered the refurbished benches to the school. It took a while because all the pupils in the class insisted on shaking my hand and giving Ellie a hug. The school has 165 pupils and the facilities are dreadful. We could get involved with uplifting the premises but with last Saturday’s experience that is a tad optimistic.
We also fitted the new valve in the misting house and managed to get ourselves thoroughly drenched in the process. No such thing as stopcocks at Van Stadens so everything must be done with the water running.

Good to see though that it all worked again so we brought the seed trays back from the greenhouse, two by two.
