Very good day - Total of 10 of us all - Includes David who I passed entering Key Hill at 09.30 as I was leaving - He was tidying up more graves between the Flower Bed and the Petrol Station - His own recently restored relatives garve in the middle of this patch - who still popped round to Warstone Lane and helped tidy up.

Very many thanks to Lyn Charlie, Pollypops (& Mr Pollypops!), Peter from the Friends, and a lovely local young couple who came on last months tour, and popped in to give us hand!

Well done to you all - the place is looking tidier - We can now hold our open day next Sat 10th Sept 10-4!

Sorry no teas/coffees awaiting for us at the Social, but 'Mother' Richard soon got the kettle on for those who made it back for grateful sit down!

Have a good rest - Until Sat 26th November - we'll save something for Frothblower to do do - Stand and watch and drink our health probably!

It was just like the Co-op - branches everywhere! :)
I've come down with a rotten cold today...hope no-one catches it.
 
Love it Froth., It was a bit of a Monty Python day!
Oh Pol., hope you haven't got this cold..I feel like sh*te today. :(
 
Charlie, I am sorry to hear you are not well :( there must be something going around - my hubby has it - he felt quite ill by the time we got home and Lyn says she has been sneezing - as it takes a few days for a cold to come out you haven't caught it from each other - I expect I will get it - but from my hubby :(
