Like everyone having endured a wet winter, autumn and low light levels I really thought we might see an upturn in temperatures and a bit less rain. In between these wet Saturdays work has continued in various parts of the churchyard, we have planted up the grey pots outside the church with plants grown from seed, Nicotinia and Cosmos, we have also planted up a wigwam of Hazel poles with Heritage Sweet Peas. Further along from the Sweet Peas work has continued to clear between a row of gravestones planting up in the spaces as we go along including sowing Calendula, the lovely bright orange flowers are such a highlight against the green sward of the churchyard. At the top of the churchyard near the gate to Church Street South tidying and clearing has taken place uncovering two gravestones which date back to the 1840's, these are being researched. As always with the churchyard it's a lovely peaceful place to work whatever the weather.
