Welford Wharf Building Opening and Tree Festival

 Had a marvellous sunny day today with the official opening of the restored wharf side building here at the Welford wharf. Volunteers have been working on it for quite a few years, and it looks really good, and is again useable inside. There was a demonstration on making lime mortar at the lime kilns. There was also a tree festival in the Pocket Park, where local children had built a large bug hotel as part of the festival. We got to meet and spent a long time chatting with Keith and Gill on Effingham. 😊
