Ponding and bonding!🐸⁠
⁠
Last week our team got together at The Retreat, a community woodland we manage near Upton Cheyney, to give the spring-fed pond a makeover. Upgrades included digging (lots of it!) and installing an underlay and liner. ⁠💪⁠

A lovely session at our Dementia Wellbeing Group in Yate this week!🌾🍎

We celebrated Lammas, the tradition marking the first harvest of the year, by making beautiful harvest wreaths and cooking apples and blackberries on the fire.
