The Ploughing day

What a fantastic start for our allotment site! On the 7th of Feb South Molton Vintage Rally Club came to Woolacombe with their tractors and ploughed out the 21 full size plots leaving 1.4 metre paths of the meadow between the plots. Thanks so much to them and Linda who all worked so hard to make it such a memorable day and they raised several hundred pounds for charity. Thank you to Woolacombe School children who have a full size plot of their own, and treated us to two wonderfully original performances. Thanks Also to Giles our wonderful vicar who blessed the site and the soil. To Angus from the red barn who donated a keg of Beer and Peter Robinson from the Museum of British Surfing, Jack and friends who looked after the time lapse camera. and to Skelly for his tune on an English concertina. And of course a huge thanks to Jonathan our local NT warden who has supported us all the way and to Robin May who gave up this part of his field from his tenancy, without his generosity we wouldn’t have the best possible site for our plots!

The local National Trust team put together this lovely afternoon with a speech from Steve Mulberry and Ray Easterbrook, an amazing story teller who immersed us in the history of the point and live music from Jim Jones, oh and not forgetting the sound track from David Kenards sheep.

Another visit into the wavedreamer archives before we re-launch the site next week. Thanks to Dig and the Bay Surf Shop Woolacombe for the flight. Dig keeps his Pilots licence fresh with jaunts over North Devon. This was my first Helicopter ride and the shaky nature of the footage has more to do with my excitement than engine vibration! Thanks to Clive Reeves for yet another track from the Bowl Rider sessions at Decoy
