First of three sessions started on Tuesday 22 Feb and we had a full house. Our chef Sarah introduced us to the delights of Jamaican Patties and after much chopping, stirring and making of pastry, we all got to taste some delicious snacks.
We were honoured with a visit from our local councillors Bernie and Norman and local MP John Leech.
"Everthing was interesting" said Monique and Harris "like chopping up things and making pastry"
Don't forget we've got another session on Tuesday 8 March. We'll be making stews. Sessions are free to anyone living on the Hough End and Arrowfield estates. If you'd like to take part text Sarah on 07930 898 935 or clare on 07595 873 221 or email clare.walker@afsl.org.uk

Sundays at the Lost Plot
Sunday 13 Feb
Not a very nice day for an outing to the allotment, but before we got drenched we managed to tidy up, sort out the shed, do some weeding and start turning over the soil in the Polytunnel.
Half the raspberry patch has been weeded and mulched, the other half can be tackled this weekend along with moving the blackcurrants and sorting the cage out.
We meet from 1pm onwards and new volunteers are always welcome!
We've got an Introduction to Local Growing workshop coming up in conjunction with Hulme Garden Centre so watch this space...

Looking forward to another month down the allotment. Welcome to Kelly who's recently joined us - we're getting very international.
This week we'll be moving black currants, preparing ground in the poly tunnel, mulching and digging over. There's still road clearing to be done and the pond to be sorted, so plenty of jobs for everyone.
Anyone wanting to join us, just come along to the Lost Plot on Sunday from 1pm or give me a call on 07595 873 221. New Volunteers always welcome!
