November saw Surrey’s High Sheriff, Tim Wates, visit.
We took the boat up to the nature compound mooring at Hurst Park. From there we walked to the partly completed compost box in the trees at ‘Hurst Minor’ and with the supply of binders so kindly transported by Becky and yesterdays boat we finished the construction.
The High Sheriff arrived on time at 12:15 and he inspected our work with great interest. He now intends to build one of his own at home!
Following this we went to inspect the nature compound and the expertly ‘pleached’ hedge. Much discussion ensued.
We then boarded Endeavour and under the expert instruction of Alan, the High Sheriff helmed us up to Platts Eyot. He joined the rest of the crew on the main deck for the return leg for a chat and a cup of ships tea.
He enjoyed his visit and was back to his car just about on time. So everything went to plan!
