The Working Bee at Halima's Cottage


The working bee went well on Saturday though numbers were small with only Helen, Sami'ullah, Aliah, Alim, Ngaire and Trish present. A lot of work was done in the garden with intermittent spells of rain. Helen and Sami'ullah were totally soaked and in the end preferred to stay working in the rain. The small herb bed was weeded, dug and ready for new planting. The hedge has never looked tidier. Well done, everyone. I am sure Halima is pleased that we remembered her birthday and celebrated it this way and also with Universal Worship on Sunday.
