Sunday 16th October
With Network Rail permission another working party took place on the Embankment from 08.00 onwards. Led by Eric, John LeGrove, John Kimpton, Chris Strogen and Neil four hours of graft were put in! Eric spearheaded the removal of all the grass in front of the sleepers - Grahams' later comment - you are making a sod of that!! Weeds were removed and Neil planted four heathers in Eric's now famous rockery! There was a much appreciated Buffer buffet at about 10.00 supplied by John K. Neil planted more bulbs and trial sprayed an area of grass - showing signs a week later of turning brown. As always the inspiration of the day was Eric - barrowload after barrowload of soil and grass was removed by John LeG and Chris. 4 hours of work left the Embankment looking a lot better for this attention!
Our thanks again to Pete for arranging this!
