Weathervane installed

As a continuation of the blog in November of last year, I'm pleased to say that our weathervane is now proudly erected on our main shed. It looks superb and has had many a positive comment already. It was so difficult to decide on what to do with the prize money won for the best in category 'grow your own' awarded that would benefit everyone on site, all of them had contributed in us winning this fine accolade.

Included here are two photos of the 'vane, comes from an old English word 'fane' meaning flag. Naughty aren't we after last year's ban on flags? But we are not 'old English', well only Jim is.

The record breaking wet season last year has meant the sheds are looking in need of TLC and the work has already started on this as weather permits, as they will be the focus of attention during the year when we show off our new asset. It will be important that the site incl the back of the sheds used at present for storing things away we'd rather not have on show, looks good from the adjacent rough field as within a few weeks will be transformed into a coach park and our car parking area too.

It's not known at the time of writing where our entrance gate will be once the work as above is finished, so it is possible Hilda the boat and our community entrance gardens may need to shift. If the gate is too far from our dedicated car park when transporting heavy items or for disabled members, we'll have to alter the location. Hoping we can leave all as it is.

I am delighted at the look of the weathervane, it will remind us over the years
why we won it.
