Just for Dean

Dean braved the wet and wild weather in Banwen on Tuesday to participate in the Tidy Wales event, and don't we all know about it! "I'm baaad", he cried when he came into work yesterday, and he was only delivering the sandwiches!

Tidy Wales

I've been slightly busy the past couple of weeks so apologies for not blogging. Lots of progress has been made in our allotments, the polytunnel has arrived, the benches are being delivered today and the vegetables are growing fast, (so much water). We'll soon be able to start supplying the residents with fresh produce.

Yesterday we held a Tidy Wales Week event, volunteers came out to clear the area in front of the allotment fencing and the stream bed and planted some flowers. Thanks to everyone concerned because it was a wet and wild day, that only places like Banwen can produce.

Last Friday we held a Jazz in the Garden evening, the Women in Jazz, Swansea band performed superbly as usual and a great night was had by all concerned. It was also the last night for our three US interns who had been working with DOVE for the past three weeks, we were sad to see them leave and wish them a great future. I'm sure we'll all keep in touch.
