Hi everyone - unfortunately we've had to cancel this Sunday's working bee as it will still be heatwave conditions and I'm pretty sure no-one wants to be out sweating in this weather! If the weather isn't too bad in January we might try for a working bee then, otherwise February... we will keep you updated!
