I am delighted to say that a good friend of mine – Peter, came along today to cut the grass for us, using his ride on mower. Despite some “teething troubles” he was able to do a great deal despite the heat this morning. I met him at the cemetery at 08.30, and whilst he did the mowing I did some strimming and cutting of ivy from the walls of the cemetery, which is a long, and laborious activity in the hot sunshine. Ivy can damage the walls if not kept under control, but it is a job that will take some weeks to complete.
After a couple of hours, Peter had finished mowing and has done a really good job and I am sure we will be asking for his help again before long especially if the hot weather continues. Thanks also to Andy Edwards, a stalwart volunteer when it comes to mowing and he was there too this morning doing his bit whilst Robert and Allison take a well earned break. Thanks to everyone and to our “Friends”, whose financial support ensures that this historic place is maintained accordingly.
