Meeting for worship 12.30pm on Thursday 10.08.06, bring your own lunch for afterwards, hot drinks supplied.
Paul and Stephen the volunteer Gardeners have been harvesting the Lavender flowers to bunch them up. We use it in each of the historic rooms to deter the moths! It is very pleasant going into the attic on warm days, that's where we dry the bunches, and smell the strong scent from the bunches.
Moles are still causing us problems in the gardens. We have used moth balls to try to drive them out into the meadow where they cause less of a problem. We had thought we had got them to move, but now and then we get a new hill appearing in the middle of the back lawn.
Raspberries from the summer fruiting canes have been harvested and the autumn canes are flowering and starting with the new fruits now. we have frozen the summer fruits for catering
use later. The Blackcurrants have been harvested and half made into jam and half frozen.
Apples are beginning to fill up now we have had some rain. Lots of the small fruits have dropped off because of the dry spell, but there are enough on to give us a reasonable crop.
FOSH (Friends of Swarthmoor Hall) members Jean and Des Gamlen are coming for a few days next week, to do some voluntary work and some sight seeing.
Banbury and Evesham Monthly Meeting are due soon for a weeks holiday.
