A warming seasonal tale

Once upon a time in a winter not so long ago, a man saw that a task needed to be done.  It was a task down on the ground.  So, being a man of action, he just got down on his hands and knees and started.  The task was rather fiddly, and from time to time he needed to move along to the next place that needed attention.  But he patiently carried on, being a man of action who had set his mind to the task.

Suddenly, he became aware that he was not alone.  Two other people had arrived and, seeing the man engaged on the task, they straightaway came to help.   With all three working together, the task was finished much earlier than the man had expected.  

"Thank you, ladies," said the man.  "You're welcome, Don", replied Jane and Pauline.  

Thanks to their teamwork, a lot of grass has been scraped up from between the paving slabs, making it safer and more attractive for us all.  Our members are so wonderful, amazing and generous with their time.
