The out of season job list!

A damp and drizzly day but through the office window I can see the gardeners are hard at work. Some jobs have to wait till the season is closed so we don't cause any disruption to people's visits and we keep them safe on site. So the chain saw buzzed into life this morning and David started working on the lower branches of several trees that overhang the driveway. It's amazing what a difference it has made when driving into the estate and looking out I can see the trees changing colour down the drive.

The season closed here at Renishaw last weekend and we couldn't have wished for a better week to finish on. The sun shone on us as we welcomed guests for Macmillian coffee morning held in the hall. After much coffee and cake was consumed  we raised a grand total of £324.10 for Macmillian. A big thank you to all the volunteers and guides who helped out on the day.
