Led by Laura Williams

We arrived one at a time, after Sree's bus was delayed by two men delivering election speeches on the bus. Or maybe they were just confused homeless people.

Larry's task for us this time was to weed and then shovel clear an uneven area of earth, so the material could be relocated to where it was needed. The aim was to level the original area, so a black sheet could be laid and new gravel laid on top.

After more than an hour's hard shovelling, we joined Larry for refreshment at the Yurt cafe, where we sorted out the general election, the "left-behind" Leave voters, and the state of British agriculture. All over one cup of lotta-mocha-coffee
