I remember receiving a tin musical carousel spinning top one Christmas which amused me greatly.

Easter greetings from the acre! It does seem very strange to be spending Easter in the cabin, with the mercury in the early 70's, whilst all around is the threat of the virus.

As we enter our second week of the lock down it is likely that this situation is likely to last beyond the three weeks that was originally announced.

We hope everyone is managing the situation as best as can be expected. As we have sadly had to close the project during the crisis, Corin, our project manager and master of all things space2grow is kindly keeping the acre going and is getting an awful lot done.

It is with regret that we must close space2grow with immediate effect and until further notice. I know that this will have a large impact on a number of our volunteers but we all must heed the advice coming out from the government and also the NHS and Public Health England.

The acre has coped incredibly with all the weather that's been thrown at it over these last few weeks.

We’re flooded! The aftermath of two recent storms; storm Ciara and storm Dennis - and with groundwater levels being above normal for this time of year - the River Wey broke it’s banks and filled the project with water.

The time of the year to reflect back and the acre has created some very special moments for us all to look back on with shared pride in what we've achieved together as a great team.
