Despite the miserable weather we still had a couple of Marple Hall pupils and their teacher turn up, which is fantastic! The old die-hards were there too and between us all we managed to get the ornamental beds weeded and ready for the summer bedding to go in, which will start to make the park look much brighter and sunnier even if the weather doesn't play ball.

We had been planning to sand down the sculpture in the Breathing Places area but that was scuppered by the rain and put off until next month. Will it rain in June too?
