It was a bright and fresh day for our return visit to Croome brightened further by the warm welcome we received from all the dedicated team who keep Croome looking as spectacular as it does.
Hugh and his workforce whisked us off to a far corner of the estate where we helped to manage the hedge which surrounds ornamental trees, one of several large circular enclosures which cover the landscape at Croome.
As always there was laughter, chatter and good humoured teasing as we all got stuck in and some of us got a bit more competitive that others about how quick or strong they were!
We got a fair bit done before having a walk back up to the visitors centre where we were treated to a wonderful home made soup and sandwiches from the 1940's style canteen, housed in the old airman's infirmary. A few of us had a wander around having a look at the fascinating history of the RAF base including a scaled model of what the whole site would have been like.
All in all another great day was had with our friends at Croome. It was nice to see our two groups working so well in harmony, all mixing together and learning from each other.
Thanks again to Katherine Hugh and all the team. The WWP gang hope to see you again soon.
