One more thing we need in our line-up for Friday’s Give & Gain day in the infants’ playground: Paint! Please donate your left-over half-pots of brightly coloured paint for a series of circles that will be painted on the playground wall (is it a target? is it a ball? is it another planet?). The new base coat will be white: the dots will be whatever colours you bring in.

This cedar tree is coming to our school…

…after this man has sliced it into beautiful stepping logs.

These gorgeous rosemary plants are coming too.

And this fine fellow is intent on hitching a ride.

It’s all coming together for the final push. We’re very grateful to the tree surgeons and house owner who’ve donated the cedar, and to the Patrick of The Plot Doctor (local gardeners) who helped us collect it. Also to Andria and Genine at Glebe Nurseries, for squeezing some extra plants into our tight budget.

And to all of YOU for loans, donations, lovely food and your time, time, TIME.  It’s going to be a fantastic playground.
