"I have had a great today - fun, productive and exhausting - on the land helping build what is going to be a fantastic structure for our children and Iona school. I know some of you have already been helping (and are planning to help) and am sure enjoyed it as much as I did.
These students are spending weeks of their holidays doing this and Alina has already spent weeks (if not months) on this project. I just wanted to let everyone know what amazing work they are doing - and how much we will all appreciate the structure when it is finished. We are so lucky to have their help and expertise.
I also wanted to encourage any of you to go and spend a bit (or a lot!) of time on the land while this project is underway - even an hour's help would be appreciated I am sure - and if your children are with you they can keep you sustained with all the wonderful foraging to be had on the land at this time of year."
