The final stages of making the mosaic for the new Community Garden at St. Peter's Aldborough Hatch drew closer today - Saturday 19th August - as we carried the completed quarters from the vestry in the church halls to their final resting place. Kristy had done sterling work during the week in preparing the base with a membrane, rubble and cement - the area having been dug out and measured with considerable accuracy by Chris. Sharon - as ever - supervised and where a piece was not quite right it was removed and replaced forthwith. The photographs tell the story and while this was going on gardening continued with Sue, Lorraine and Christine. Jenny and Kristy were up to their elbows in cement - whilst Revd Lovesey made the welcome lunch and kept a wary eye to make sure everything was being done properly. More work to be done this week completing all the pieces where there are joins. The grouting is scheduled for Saturday 26th - and that should see the completed work in which so many residents have been involved. It will be covered for the coming week to protect from the possible rain storms.
