The Trelawnyd Volunteer Corps
And the junior division
The affable despot Jason brought his chain saw
In just one hour sixteen of us more or less cleared the village green
A big thank you to all that helped out, a job well done, the lavender bordered path looks especially good
The Prof, Wendy and the little boy no one knew clearing the flower beds
Ah the junior division...future senior division of Trelawnyd, out there learning from the best. How was the cake?
ReplyDeleteI thought I recognized jason's pretty girls. and you got the prof's best side, I see (wink). a job well done!
ReplyDeleteGood job all!!
ReplyDeleteGood job ! Chocolate cake and wine/beer for everyone !!
ReplyDeleteJob well done, all you had to do was ask and bake.
ReplyDeleteWonderful to get the children involved. Well done.
ReplyDeleteOh! I just love this. Especially "the little boy no one knew."
ReplyDeleteHe seemed to have a nice time and enjoyed the photo session
DeleteWas this the same boy who came out last Sunday ?
DeleteYes
DeleteIt's nice to not see a petrol leaf-blower in use. Autumns used to be so peaceful when rakes were the only tools.
ReplyDeleteWe just had lots of little hands at work
DeleteDid the last week's early bird kid come back?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful community! I had to zoom in to look at you; retirement is doing you well John because you are looking very good.
ReplyDeleteGreetings Maria x
I'm getting into the swing of it Maria x
DeleteI think so too, Maria.
DeleteWhat a lovely community.Jason has a naughty twinkle in his eye too 😁
ReplyDeleteHe'll love the fact you said that
Delete😁😀🤑
DeleteGood to see that some of the village youngsters are becoming community-spirited.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant.
ReplyDeleteI was wondering how that went. Looks like you had a good crew and they did a good job!
ReplyDeleteThey did! The cream cakes went down very well too
DeleteHappy village life to be remembered one day.
ReplyDeleteI think everyone enjoyed it. Only one hour of their time taken up, but a great deal was done
DeleteWell done to all the Trelawnydders who responded to the call for action. These days it is too easy to shut one's door or close the curtains, forgetting that we live in communities.
ReplyDeleteWell done. It is home, after all.
ReplyDeleteLove to read something happy the first thing in the morning.
ReplyDeleteThis was it today.
cheers, parsnip
Ohh, so good!
ReplyDeleteI bet you have had something to do with the setting up of this gang of helpers John. You really are so good.
ReplyDeleteShucks
DeleteGreat job that benefits many. Such a pleasure to be in a tidy village. Every little helps!!!
ReplyDeleteI was wondering how it went. The boy who no one knew, but know you do. Was he the boy who came the other week. Just a nice post.
ReplyDeleteYes, he turned up on time and worked like a trouper ! He's in the second photo
DeleteThe boy no one knew sounds like a movie title. great that he came back to help.
DeleteIt's strange but he looks just like I did as a boy
DeleteIt's sad but when we took our group photo he disappeared so when the Prof spied him , he asked if he wanted his photo taken with the other young volunteers. I was reminded we should have had permission to do so after I took it. I hope it's ok inthis world of being careful
DeleteI hope you find out who "the boy no one knew" is! Great job. Many hands make light work.
ReplyDeleteYou are looking might trim in that picture, John - great job there too!
Lovely to see.
ReplyDeleteMany hands make light work. One hour thats fantastic and cake. Well I hope all your volunteers know they are being cheered on from around the world through your blog. The next thing I think you should suggest is that they each take on an apprentice to train up to do that one hour that could go viral. Well done all.
ReplyDeleteThat's sweet of u.
DeleteI think more people will come next time . We aim to weed all of the flower beds, jet wash the seating area and sort out the flower beds near the church. I would like to organise planters too
Gosh, that's such a marvelous bit of hard work with a wonderful ending.
ReplyDeleteMany Hands do make light work - and cake makes it even lighter! Well done, all of you. A community spirit you can all be proud of.
ReplyDeleteIt's good that there's a bunch of people willing to help maintain the village green. It's sad when a green space like that is neglected and turns into an overgrown rubbish-strewn mess.
ReplyDeleteLooks great! I love that some random little boy showed up and no one knows who he is!
ReplyDeleteGreat, really great “community” effort . . .
ReplyDeleteCheers for each of you!
Brilliant community effort. Aww .. 'the little boy that no one knew' sounds so forlorn. What a good kid he is though.
ReplyDeleteWe've done our own community thing here over the last few weeks and raised enough money for a defibrillator to be held in the local hotel. £1,500 raised in a community of just 227 people, can't be bad :-)
