Despite only getting home yesterday after ten o'clock at night and dashing to Tesco's for essentials, I still rose at seven forty-five on Saturday morning. The NT Volunteers were meeting at Minnowburn for a spot of path maintenance. Our numbers are dwindling a bit, there being a mere four of us with Mick, the acting warden.
We took the trusty, white Land-Rover up to the Rose Garden at Minnowburn and our task was to level off a soil border beside the new gravel path which had been created. The Rose Garden really is taking shape. What a magical place; well worth a visit and wonderful views across the valley to Malone House and Barnett's Park, Belfast.
You'll have gathered, by now, my great fondness for Minnowburn. What a treasure it is for the citizens of Belfast.
The sun shone for us the whole time; I dropped the hood on the old two-seater on the way home.
