The rain was pouring down in the early hours of Monday July 11th, but by late morning it was fine enough for us to carry out our planned work at Rupe and Gwen Cheetham's. After two and a half months in hospital and rehab, Rupe had only been home for a few days, but he and Gwen had a few jobs planned.
Lois and Shirlie weeded the pots that Rupe grows for the Benalla Hospital Auxiliary stall. Bill dug out a couple of clumps of ornamental strappy plants which Gwen no longer wanted, and moved a heavy pot of hostas on a trolley to a better spot.
Jane and guest member Rosie pruned some bushes which were growing out over the lawn and then chopped them into small pieces into the compost bin. We all enjoyed working in the weak sunshine, until called in for a sumptuous afternoon tea.
It was a pleasure to relax in the warmth of Gwen's lovely smile and receive Rupe's grateful thanks for our help.
