I managed to take a few pictures this week of the site all prepared for my session. I am really pleased with the way it has turned out, the extra space is lovely and I’ve had some great comments from attendees. The den, sandpit, digging area and mud kitchen are being well used, so much so that I am having to reduce my ambitions for structured activities to be achieved each session, as the kids are not keen to be dragged away from these free-play activities!
I completed my to-do list in the nick of time and ran my first session at the allotment this week. It was fantastic! Both morning and afternoon sessions were fully booked and almost everyone turned out despite it drizzling with rain for the entire day. I am so please (and relieved) to have got to this point. It always is a HUGE effort to get the group off the ground again each spring. Now comes the fun bit of running sessions every friday.
I was rushed off my feet all day, so didn’t manage to get any good pics of the site all finished and prepped, but will aim to do this next week. Following are some pics that I did take of the participants enjoying the activities and the re-vamped site.
