Sunday morning was actually pretty nice looking... warm, not raining... and so I decided it was a good day to give the uni conservation group a try, Dirty Weekenders. Every Sunday they go on an all-day workday in a local park, or sometimes a far-away park.
This week they/we went down to Dalkeith Park, a quick busride south out of Edinburgh. It was a lot of fun, some of us recobbled the plaza area while the rest trimmed back rose bushes that encroached into the path and liberated ivy-covered trees. We got back late afternoon, so it really was all-day, and we got a lot of work done out there---it helps to have 40 or 50 volunteering, I suppose.
Lunch and a plethora of biscuits were provided. Delicious!
