Digging

We went to help some friends with a bit of digging today – posts going in soon, so the holes needed clearing up. The main bulk of it had been done mechanically, but the holes were too deep and too narrow for an adult to fit into and bend to dig. Thankfully, there were plenty of children around to lower in…

Here’s my littlest bean, having a great time (It doesn’t seem as deep in the photo – the grass is where the top was). He got stuck in and worked really hard – because, as he says, “When a friend needs help, you roll up your sleeves and DIG!” 😉

A fun, unexpected get together… the adults fetched and carried (buckets, dirt etc), or did some digging out with long handled tools. Biggest boy helped shift bits of wood. And then we all sat down and had dinner together, and talked. It’s good to have friends!
