Tuesday 9th October - trimming & seed sowing

The team worked hard yesterday and today, preparing the ground for sowing the grass seed, and general gardening duties in hot temperatures! You can see some of the tools the team have donated and are working with.

It was an earlier start than planned for one team member (naming no names) who seemed to get the time difference wrong and arrived for breakfast at 05:20! Bet it was nice and cool though.

Lunch was a feast  and when the second course arrived unexpectedly, the team were delighed if not surprised and full. They ate the first as if it was the only course. They are feeding them well.

Graham explained about Monday's work "Charity has made good use of her blister plasters as we got to work using the new tools to landscape the gardens.

The sun burned fiercely today, and will soar to 37 tomorrow and we are not in the desert yet. Many red faces and necks being nursed back at the hotel.

We all cooled off in the pool before dinner last night and a it was a welcome bed for sore bodies."
